Cebu Mall Allowing Stray Dogs to Rest at Its Entrance Earns Praise Online
A mall in Cebu City has earned praises online after a video showing several stray dogs peacefully resting outside its entrance went viral.
Kindness is the act of being caring, gentle, and thoughtful toward others. It means doing something good for someone without expecting anything in return. Kindness can be shown in small ways, like giving a smile, helping someone carry their things, or simply listening when someone needs to talk.
Even the smallest kind gesture can make someone’s day better. Kindness can be shown to anyone: family, friends, strangers, and even animals. Being kind creates a more positive and peaceful world, and it often inspires others to be kind too.
Recently, a TikTok user named Meqy36 shared a video of stray dogs peacefully resting outside its entrance. The post immediately spread like wildfire on social media and elicited comments online.
In the video, the dogs can be seen lying comfortably near the mall doors, undisturbed by people walking in and out or by security guards. The mall’s quiet kindness, allowing these dogs to stay and rest without being shooed away touches many hearts.
Some people online praised the mall for showing compassion, saying it was heartwarming to see animals being treated with care. Others shared concerns about safety and cleanliness, but many locals explained that Cebu City has ongoing efforts to manage and care for its stray animals.

The city’s Department of Veterinary Medicine and Fisheries (DVMF) regularly feeds, vaccinates, and neuters stray dogs to help control the population and keep them healthy. Because of these efforts, many of the stray dogs in the city are friendly and well-behaved.
The video reminded many that compassion doesn’t always need grand gestures sometimes, it’s as simple as letting a tired dog rest in peace.
