Friend,

I don’t really know what the naughty list is.

I just know that not long ago, I was about to be killed.

My name is Jacinto. I’m a dog in the Philippines.
I was taken for the dog meat trade and I was only moments from being slaughtered when everything changed.

Police officers and AWIP investigators arrived.
The site was shut down. I was carried out alive.

That rescue didn’t happen by accident.
It happened because people like you refused to look away.

I’m safe now. I can run. I can eat. I can sleep without fear.
But sometimes I still wonder…

Am I on the naughty list, Friend?
You already know the answer.

Dogs rescued from the meat trade don’t deserve punishment.
They deserve food, warmth, and protection, especially at Christmas.

Thank you for being there when it mattered most.
