Fiona was a very special dog. She had soft, fluffy fur and bright, sparkling eyes. Today was her birthday, a day she had been looking forward to for weeks. She’d imagined balloons, birthday cake, and lots of belly rubs. But as the day wore on, Fiona started to feel a little lonely.
She waited by the door, her tail thumping excitedly, hoping to hear a familiar voice. Her human, 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.
Fiona 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, Fiona 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.
