✨ Sample Narrative

For 450 days, Neo’s world was a kennel. He watched families walk past, his tail wagging softly, his eyes pleading silently for a chance. While others found homes, Neo remained — patient, resilient, and hopeful. Then, one ordinary afternoon, everything changed. A visitor paused, met his gaze, and saw not just a shelter dog, but a loyal companion waiting to be loved. That day, Neo’s long wait ended, and his new life began.
