EN: watchdog; guard dog
The original, low-tech, four-legged CCTV and alarm system. This is the dog whose bark is definitely worse than its bite... usually. They're the ones who go from 0 to 100 real quick when the doorbell rings or a stranger walks past the gate. They take their job of 'pagbabantay' very seriously, often for the low, low price of belly rubs and leftovers.
Kombinasyon ng "aso" (dog) at "tagapagbantay" (one who guards).
ROOT MEANING: dog
Often shortened to "bantay", which can also be used as the dog's name.
