One afternoon, door creaked open, and a kind voice called out softly. The figure approached Zoli’s cage, not hurrying past like the others had. The woman knelt down and saw the sadness in Zoli’s eyes, the way she could barely lift her head. Without a word, she opened the cage and gently reached out.
Koli, though weak and heartbroken, felt something stir inside her. She lifted her head just enough to rest it against the woman’s outstretched hand. The warmth of the touch was enough to melt away the coldness that had wrapped around her heart.
Tears welled up in the woman’s eyes as she whispered, “You deserve so much love.” And for the first time in what felt like forever, Koli’s tail gave a faint, hopeful wag. The hug she had longed for had finally come, and with it, the promise of a better tomorrow.
