Today is Goro’s birthday, but it doesn’t feel like much of a celebration. Goro, a sweet dog with big, soulful eyes, is turning five years old. He had been hoping for a special day filled with love, but instead, the house is quiet, and no one seems to have remembered. His tail, usually wagging with excitement, hangs low as he waits by the door, hoping someone will acknowledge this special occasion.
As the hours pass, Goro moves from room to room, glancing at his toys, his bed, and even the front door. The excitement of the day slowly fades. There are no treats, no belly rubs, and no whispered words of “Happy Birthday” in his floppy ears. He feels the loneliness settle in, and his heart aches as he wonders why no one has taken the time to send him birthday wishes.
Despite the sadness, Goro curls up on his favorite spot by the window, gazing out at the world. Maybe, just maybe, someone will remember. For now, though, it seems like this birthday will pass by unnoticed, leaving Goro feeling a little more alone than usual on what should have been his special day.
