Among all the animals in the world, only dogs have appropriately earned the nickname ‘man’s best friend.’ And let’s face it: they definitely deserve it.

Moreover, the video also tells us that the smart canine does it to help earn money for his young owner Aquino Redeloza who rescued the animal when he was small.

For Aquino Redeloza, 18, Blackjack is more than a pet – he’s family.

According to Aquino, Blackjack has been his constant companion since then. And he began training him when he was just 8 months of age. Now the pair performs in the streets of Manila, much to the delight and amazement of curious passersby.

They earn about Php 300 to Php 600 everyday, which goes to the family’s daily needs and for Aquino’s schooling. When the performance is done, the dog sleeps with them at night in their Baseco, Port Area home.
