🐶 Seven years ago, I went into a store for dog food—and walked out with my future best friend. A tiny black pup sat quietly in the corner, his big eyes meeting mine, and in that instant, I knew our lives were about to change forever. That first photo in the cart captured the beginning of a bond I couldn’t yet understand—but already felt deep in my heart.

🌧️ Over the years, we’ve shared muddy adventures in the park, quiet evenings curled up on the couch, and even the fear of health scares that reminded me how fragile life can be. Each wag, nuzzle, and goofy grin cemented him not just as a pet, but as a companion, teacher, and confidant.

💪 People may say, “It’s just a dog,” but he has shown me loyalty beyond words, patience I didn’t know I had, and the purest form of unconditional love. Every ride in the cart now isn’t about necessity—it’s a tribute to where we began, and the journey we’ve shared.

✨ Here’s to countless more rides, endless memories, and a lifetime filled with joy, companionship, and love. Seven years in, and I know this is just the beginning. ❤️🐾
