But suddenly, something extraordinary happened. The owner, knowing how much I adored Snow, took pity on me and said, "Okay, you can take him." I was flooded with delight and relief. I couldn't believe that I was finally going to be able to give Snow the loving home he deserved.

Bringing Snow home was just the beginning of our journey together. It was evident that he had endured trauma and had been abused in the past. He would shudder as I lifted my hand, yet despite his past, he was still wonderfully loving. Every morning, he would come into my room, wagging his tail, bringing me immense delight.
