Isumu was a dog that had never experienced love. He had been abandoned near a shelter, left to fend for himself on the side of the road.

He had a broad stripe and blood around his neck from the shackles that had formerly held him, and his long nails caused him anguish with every step he took. His body was covered in rabies wounds, and he had a unique scent of rotten meat.

Despite all of his suffering, Isumu’s eyes still held a spark of life, and he still had the potential to experience fear, humility, and hope. He prayed to God that someone would come to his help and save him from his anguish.

Day 10: Isumu began to recover. His wounds started to repair, and his fur began to grow back. He no longer smelt like rotten flesh, and his eyes started to glow with delight and contentment.

Day 80: Finally, a pleasant family arrived to the shelter who wanted to adopt a dog. When they saw Isumu, they immediately fell in love with him.
