Apollo the Pyramid Dog: A New Star

The success of the dog of Apple in the pyramids of Giza, organizations in the field of animal protection, and local authorities are developing initiatives for the popularization of care for stray dogs and cats in Egypt. The idea of additional work on four friends actively supports tourists, enthusiastic about athletics and the bravery of the puppies.

An employee of the American Cairo Foundation for the Rescue of Animals confirmed that Apple is a leader in its field due to its courage and physical endurance, offering protection to other animals. Its mother, Lika, raises offspring in one of the cages, but many puppies have become victims of unfortunate circumstances, while Apple, owing to its resilience, helped save Lika from being put down.

After the history of dogs from Giza attracted wide interest, Marshal Mosher decided to name one of the puppies Apple after the name Anyubi. This initiative of raising awareness of puppies brought benefits not only for tourism purposes but also for local retail points selling souvenirs at the pyramids.

The pyramid trading reported that sales increased by 20% due to the appearance of tourists attracted to the story of "pyramid dogs." The new shop in Giza continues to draw people’s attention due to the interest in stray animals, and local tour guides began to share stories about them with visitors.

An excursion guide reported that Anyubi has been in Egypt all this time, undergoing treatment to strengthen its health before joining a new owner in the United States. Authorities are also planning to create a permanent veterinary center on the pyramids' plateau for taking care of animals in this area, which would be a positive solution.

The leader of the organization Viki Michel Brown expressed satisfaction with the increased attention to animal protection. Overall, the popularity of the Apple dog has a positive effect on the territory of Giza and stimulates public attention to animal protection achievements.
