“Kobe’s Morning of Joy”

In the soft glow of morning light, Kobe, a sweet young puppy with a heart full of joy, stretched and wagged his tail as he heard his favorite greeting: “Good morning, Kobe!” His eyes sparkled, and his tail thumped with excitement as his caretaker cooed over him, guiding him to his breakfast bowl. “Wow, look at you! Eating all on your own!” His small, joyful barks seemed to say, *”Yes, I’m ready!”*

Kobe had come a long way. Just a few weeks earlier, he had been a fragile little thing, with patches of rough skin and fur so thin it barely kept him warm. But now, thanks to daily care and lots of love, his skin was healing, and his coat was growing back soft and glossy. After breakfast, Kobe enjoyed his morning ritual of cuddles, pressing his tiny, warm body close as if he never wanted to let go.

After his bath, he felt fresh and lively, ready to bask in the morning sun that flooded the room. He lay stretched out in a warm sunbeam, his contented sighs filling the space as his caretaker looked on, whispering, “What a happy little boy.” He adored this quiet time, where the sun warmed him and his new coat caught the light, making him look like the picture of health. Nearby, his sister waited patiently for her turn in the spotlight. She was just a few months old herself, but strong and playful, often darting over to nuzzle her brother, as if cheering him on. Watching over them both, their caretaker couldn’t help but feel proud of how much they’d grown. “You’re both so handsome,” she would tell them, and they seemed to understand, their tails wagging in unison.

Kobe, now full of breakfast, cuddles, and sunshine, gave a long, satisfied yawn. With a little *“arf,”* he settled in for a nap, surrounded by love and warmth. Every day was a bit better than the last, and every “good morning” a reminder of the life he was now lucky to live—a life filled with care, healing, and the simple, boundless joy of being a cherished pup.
