As she opened the gate to the backyard, Bruno ran towards her, tears glistening in his eyes, and emitted a deep, distressing howl. Lena, taken aback by his emotional display, knelt to comfort him in her arms.

Bruno’s cries continued, accompanied by soft whimpers as he nestled his head against Lena’s chest, seemingly trying to communicate his feelings. Lena’s heart swelled with emotion as she realized the depth of Bruno’s separation anxiety and longing for her during their time apart.

Having entrusted Bruno to a friend while away for work, Lena had assumed he would be well cared for. To her dismay, she discovered that her friend had neglected Bruno, leaving him alone for extended periods without proper care or nourishment. Bruno’s physical decline, evident in his weight loss and lackluster coat, broke Lena’s heart.

Determined to restore Bruno’s health and happiness, Lena promptly took him to the vet and devoted herself to his well-being. She spent quality time playing, exercising, and providing nutritious meals to Bruno. Gradually, Bruno’s vitality and spirit returned, a testament to Lena’s unwavering love and dedication.

One day, while sitting on the couch engrossed in a book, Bruno approached Lena, nudging her gently with his nose. Meeting his gaze filled with love and gratitude, Lena embraced him tightly, tears of joy streaming down her face.

Since that poignant moment, Bruno’s loyalty and affection towards Lena grew stronger. He shadowed her every move, steadfast in his devotion. Lena cherished their unique bond, built on love, trust, and mutual understanding, vowing never to part from Bruno again and to provide him with the care he deserved.
