At the heart of this poignant anthology are two of humanity’s most
cherished animal companions—cats and dogs.

Featuring 100 poems by acclaimed Filipino writers from across
the archipelago, this collection delves into the profound, often tender
bonds we share with these beloved creatures. It also moves beyond the
familiar contours of the human-animal relationship, reflecting on how
their lives mirror our own, revealing shared experiences of love and
loss, struggles and resilience, survival and belonging.

Divided into two sections—Asu (dog) and Pusa (cat)—the poems
offer moments of laughter, quiet reflection, and heartfelt emotion, with
each piece speaking to the enduring presence of the animals who walk
beside us and the pawprints they leave behind.
