Hana was a small, scruffy puppy with a heart full of love. She was not the most beautiful dog, with her patchy fur and crooked tail. But she didn’t care about her appearance. She was happy just being herself.
Today was Hana’s birthday, a day she had been looking forward to for weeks. She had imagined balloons, birthday cake, and lots of belly rubs from her human, Emily. But as the day wore on, Hana started to feel a little lonely.
She waited by the door, her tail thumping excitedly, hoping to hear a familiar voice. Emily was usually the first to greet her with a happy birthday song and a special treat. But hours turned into days, and still, no one came.
Hana curled up in her favorite spot, her big, brown eyes filled with sadness. She missed Emily’s warm hugs and the playful games they used to have. The house felt quiet and empty without her.
As the sun began to set, Hana decided to take a walk. She wandered through the park, sniffing the sweet scent of flowers and listening to the birds chirping. As she walked, she couldn’t help but feel a little lost.
Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice calling her name. She turned around and saw Emily running towards her, a big smile on her face. Emily had been busy with work and had completely forgotten about Hana’s birthday. She felt terrible about it and promised Hana she would make it up to her.
That evening, Hana had the best birthday party ever. Emily baked her favorite cake, decorated the house with balloons, and invited all of Hana’s doggy friends. Hana was so happy, her tail wagged so hard it almost knocked her over. As she ate her cake and played with her friends, she realized that even though she might not be the most beautiful dog, she was still loved and appreciated. And that was all that mattered.
