Loke, a small, scruffy dog with a heart as big as the world, sat alone in a corner of the park. Today was his second birthday, but there was no sign of celebration. He was a dog that was often overlooked, considered less attractive than the sleek, pedigreed breeds that seemed to dominate the dog world.
He had been a stray for as long as he could remember, living a life of uncertainty and loneliness. He had learned to fend for himself, scavenging for food and seeking shelter from the elements. But on his birthday, the loneliness felt particularly acute.
Loke watched as other dogs played with their families, their tails wagging with joy. He longed to be part of a loving family, to have someone to care for him and celebrate his special day. But those dreams seemed distant and unattainable.
As the day wore on, Loke’s heart grew heavier. He felt a deep sense of sadness and abandonment. He had no one to share his birthday with, no one to offer him a kind word or a gentle pat on the head. He was just a lonely dog, lost in a big city, with nowhere to go and no one to love.
