Today was a special day for Dao—it was her birthday! She woke up with excitement bubbling in her chest, imagining the fun and joy the day would bring. As she wandered through the house, her tail wagged in anticipation. “Maybe I’ll get extra treats,” she thought, “or maybe some belly rubs!”
But as the morning went on, things seemed… quiet. Neo and Koli were busy chasing each other, Meda was napping, and the rest of the puppies were going about their day. Dao sat down, her excitement slowly fading into a quiet longing.
She gazed out the window, watching the breeze play with the leaves. “Today would be perfect,” Dao sighed softly to herself, “if only someone would wish me a happy birthday.” She knew it wasn’t much to ask—just a little acknowledgment that today was hers.
