Mina was a sweet little puppy with big, brown eyes. Today was her special day, her birthday, but she felt very sad. No one seemed to remember.
Usually, her birthday was a flurry of excitement. Her human, Emily, would decorate the house with balloons and streamers, bake her a special doggy cake, and invite all her furry friends over for a party. But this year, the house was quiet and empty. Emily had been busy with work, and Mina’s usual playmates were nowhere to be seen.
Mina wandered around the house, her tail drooping sadly. She sniffed at her empty food bowl, hoping for a special treat. But all she found was the usual kibble. She looked out the window, longing for a glimpse of her favorite squirrel, but the park was deserted.
As the day wore on, Mina’s heart grew heavier. She curled up in her favorite spot, her head resting on her paws. Tears welled up in her big, brown eyes. She missed her human, and she missed her friends. She just wanted someone to tell her happy birthday.
