When the two parties had a confrontation at Raffy Tulfo’s public service program, Beth’s son Gabby said that the Shih Tzu dog was his gift for his mother. However since her mother would often travel to other places to visit their properties, she decided to ask her neighbor Linda to look after the dog whenever she is away.

But whenever Beth would fetch the dog at Linda’s house, she always gives excused that the dog is not home or is sick leaving the dog under Linda’s care for the past 4 years.
