Today is Hibiki’s birthday, but instead of celebrating with friends and family, he finds himself alone in an animal shelter. Hibiki, a gentle dog with a soft coat and kind eyes, has spent far too many days in this place. As he sits in his small kennel, he can hear the sounds of other dogs barking and people laughing, but all he wants is a forever home.
Hibiki thinks back to the times he roamed the streets, searching for food and warmth. He dreams of a cozy place where he can curl up by a fireplace, play fetch in a yard, and receive all the love he craves. Today, as he celebrates his birthday, he wishes for something simple: a family who will love him and a home he can call his own.
As the hours pass, Hibiki watches the staff at the shelter prepare for a birthday party for all the animals. They bring out toys, treats, and decorations, but what he truly hopes for is to be chosen by someone special. He dreams of a human who will see beyond his fur and recognize the loyal companion he can be.
With every bark and wag of his tail, Hibiki holds onto hope. He wishes that today, on his special day, someone will walk through the shelter doors and decide to give him the gift of a loving forever home. As he looks out at the world, he believes that this birthday could mark the beginning of a new adventure filled with love and joy.
