"Haynako, these are the perils of adopting dogs. This is my new passport," Atienza said, proceeding to tell off the rescued dog, "Kinain ang passport ko my gosh, haynako!"
In response to concerned followers commenting on the post, Atienza acknowledged he was at fault for not placing his passport out of the reach of his pets.
One TikTok user humorously commented Atienza's famous catchphrase, "Laging tandaan, ang buhay ay weather weather lang," while another joked about filing a case against Lolo Joe.
Atienza often rescues dogs, in the last year, adopting Lolo Raf and Granny, and has a variety of strange pets including an iguana, Macau birds, and a tortoise.
