Junrell Fuentes Revilla had no idea that his routine ride through the Cebu mountains in the Philippines would turn into a heroic act that would capture the world's attention. As he was driving his motorcycle, he noticed a dog chasing him, barking loudly and trying to get his attention. Curious, he stopped and the dog immediately gestured him to follow.

Without hesitation, Revilla followed the dog, who led him all the way up to the top of a mountain. At the summit, the dog took him to a dumpsite where he saw a little newborn baby swaddled in a brown towel, abandoned and left to ԁiе.
Thanks to Blacky's actions, the abandoned newborn was rescued and taken to the local police station, and the Department of Social Welfare got involved.
