Following the recognition, Maningo shared a message directed at fellow pet owners.
She reminded “fur parents” of the responsibility that comes with caring for animals, emphasizing that pets depend entirely on their owners for safety and well-being.
She said, “Let us be responsible, because our pets don’t have a way of saying what they feel, so we must be responsible enough and compassionate enough to take care of them.”
Her actions quickly gained attention, drawing praise from various animal welfare organizations that lauded her heroism and compassion.
Many groups described her decision as a powerful example of the deep bond between humans and their pets.
Through her bravery and message, Maningo’s story continues to inspire discussions about responsible pet ownership and the lengths people are willing to go to protect the animals they love.
