Inna, a petite dog with fur as golden as the first light of dawn, had always been known as “Lucky.” Her name was no exaggeration. She had survived a rocky start in life—abandoned as a pup, she’d braved cold streets and empty nights until she found her forever home. Today marked her birthday, a celebration of not just her life but her unyielding spirit.
The day began with a storm, rain pounding against the windows. Inna’s humans had planned a big outdoor celebration, but it seemed nature had other plans. Still, Inna wasn’t one to despair; her survival instincts had taught her to find light in the darkest moments.
As the storm raged on, Inna pawed at the old wooden toy box in the corner of the living room. Her human, curious, helped her open it. Out tumbled a collection of weathered toys, but one stood out—a small, tattered teddy bear Inna had carried from her early days on the streets. It was her comfort through the hardest times, her reminder of resilience.
