Marble is a 13-year-old Aspin, a Philippine-native dog breed. He assists his human, Flor Valiente, in purchasing items from the local market. The tandem never fails to attract the attention of passersby whenever they are outdoors.

The tight relationship between Marble and Flor astounds those who see them. When they visit the neighborhood market, Marble carries Flor’s shopping basket. The intelligent dog follows his owner everywhere he goes. According to several of the bystanders, they resemble a mother and son.

Flor asserts that she got Marble when he was still a puppy. Eugenio, her husband, initially taught Marble skills with a ball. The dog was taught how to carry baskets as he grew older.

Eugenio passed away in 2017 due to a stroke, and his faithful dog Marble remained by his coffin the entire time.

Flor would occasionally catch Marble staring at her, and she believed that he shared some characteristics with her husband. He appeared to sense Flor’s melancholy and yearning for her spouse, so he followed her wherever she went. Since the dog encouraged Flor to continue with life, the two have become closer.

Currently, the dog sleeps in Flor’s bed. The two then jog in the mornings before heading to the local market to purchase their food. They frequent the local market at least twice each week, and the vendors are already familiar with the dog. He is a local celebrity at the market, and the vendors who like him give him treats.

A passerby named Rosefel Martin observed Flor and Marble one day. It was her first time witnessing a dog carrying a basket, so she posted a video of them online.

Several individuals were pleased to watch the footage of the intelligent dog. Some even offered to buy Marble from Flor, but she refused to sell him because, according to Flor, Marble is a memorial to her late husband.

Flor stated, in response to a question about Marble’s fame, that she is pleased that her constant companion brings happiness to the people they encounter.
