"Walang kaming sasakyan, nag-iipon pa kami kaya nagbibisikleta kaming mag-asawa papuntang trabaho. Ang mga bata din papuntang school, kung mag-grocery may hila kaming trailer ang bike namin puno-puno pa dahil malayo kami sa grocery,"kwento ng amang si Frederick.
"Emmanuel talk to me and told me that they will give Bluey to us."
Para sa asawang si Shane Joy hulog ng langit si Bluey sa kanilang pamilya, mas pinagaan ang kanilang pang-araw araw na buhay mula noon.
"Kung dati nagbibisikleta kami almost 5 kilometres papunta sa trabaho, ganun din ang mga bata papuntang school.
Ngayon hinahatid na namin sila sa school, hindi na naiinitan o nababasa sa ulan kasi may Bluey na pati sa pag-grocery," masayang pag-amin ng inang si Shane.
