Rocky, a playful and loving golden retriever, lay on his dog bed, his ears drooping and his tail still. His owner, Emily, had been away for a few days, and Rocky missed her terribly.
As he looked around the empty house, Rocky thought to himself, “This world has so many beautiful things to see and hear, but unfortunately, I can’t find anything.” He missed the sound of Emily’s laughter, the smell of her cooking, and the feel of her scratches behind his ears.
Just then, Rocky’s ears perked up as he heard the sound of the front door opening. Emily’s family and friends had come to visit, bringing with them treats and toys for Rocky. As they showered him with love and attention, Rocky’s tail began to wag, and he felt a warmth in his heart.
Rocky realized that what he needed most was the love of everyone around him. With Emily’s loved ones by his side, Rocky felt happy and content once again, his heart filled with the love and companionship he craved.
