Sit, Stay, Mine

I had been in foster care my whole life. Until the day I decided to forge my own path. Used to not having love or anyone to lean on, I decide to get a dog.

Bingo is to be my companion. Then he unknowingly leads me to my future. A future that has always been there but waiting for me.

As I search inside myself, looking for the courage to take what is in front of me, my dog begins a journey of his own and together, we find our destiny.

I didn’t know it then, but he sent him to me to find my way.

Guess that’s why they call them man’s best friend.
