This dog has a hidden talent—getting parcels for her furmom!
Aki has been welcoming delivery riders in their home in San Mateo, Rizal since 2021.
Aki, a one-year-old mixed breed of Japanese Spitz and Pomeranian, has been receiving all the parcels on behalf of his fur mom, Lheam.
“Syempre nung una po, medyo hesitant po mga rider since it’s their duty na maibigay nang maayos sa amin and nagdo-doubt pa po sila kay Aki since may mga aso na inuunbox ‘yung parcel mismo pagkakuha. Pero nung nasanay na po sila at alam nila na gentle si Aki sa mga parcel, okay na po sila. Every time na si Aki po ang kumukuha ng parcels from them, nakangiti po sila,” furmom Lheam Vilog told The Philippine STAR.
“Ever since last year po, hangga’t kaya niya po ‘yung parcel na bitbitin, siya po ang kumukuha at pinagbibigyan ng riders. Every time may parcel po na idedeliver, he would knock on our door or he would bark immediately to let us know na may tao. Actually, alam niya na nga po ‘yung tunog ng motors ng riders,” she added.
Lheam said that Aki didn’t undergo any kind of formal training. He just learned it through observation.
Aki definitely knows the drill whenever he hears delivery riders in front of their gate.
“Hindi po namin siya trinain intentionally na kumuha ng parcels from riders. Sobrang nasanay lang po talaga siyang kumuha ng parcels, kaya po every time na may rider na nagso-stop sa labas ng bahay, lumalabas po agad siya,” she shared.
Aki wowed netizens with his unique talent. The uploaded video on social media has already garnered more than 2.4 million views on TikTok.
Aki and their regular delivery riders eventually became friends after several encounters.
Aki has been with them for a year now. Lheam described him as a sweet and clingy dog to her family.
