Today was Runi’s birthday—a day she’d been so eager for, imagining wagging tails and joyful barks echoing around her. She waited patiently by her little cake, ears perked, eyes searching, hoping to see her friends arriving with warm wishes. But as the minutes passed, the yard stayed quiet.
Runi looked around, her heart sinking as she realized she was still alone. She sat by the decorations and treats, letting out a soft, hopeful sigh. Maybe—just maybe—someone would come soon. Until then, she held onto that wish, hoping her special day might still be filled with love and warmth.
