Former Uruguayan President José "Pepe" Mujica says he asked that his ashes be placed with his dog Manuela, one of his favorite pets.

The remains of Manuela, who lived 22 years, are under a redwood tree where Mujica also wants to be buried.

"The more I get to know humans, the more I adore dogs," said Mujica in an interview with José Manuel Rodríguez.
