But Ellie the dog understands that he is unhappy because he misses someone, and "loneliness will be the biggest difficulty in life". In this life of a dog, its mission is responsibility and companionship.
The dog's third life has become a cute dog named Tino. Its owner is a fat girl who eats food. She doesn't like to socialize with people, but she always envy the happiness and sweetness of others. So Tino would accompany her when she was unhappy and make her happy. And Tino also met his favorite dog, and successfully matched his master, which led to a beautiful marriage.

I was not originally a dog lover, which was related to several weaknesses in me, cleanliness, fear of trouble, and lack of sense of responsibility. But now I have a dog, its name is Xiaojiao, I occasionally take care of its daily life, and I am willing to talk to it. Most of the time, it is the wolf cub who is in charge of its life.
Xiaojiao's daily life is to stay at home and wait for the master to get off work. It's strange how it can understand when we wear shoes and take it downstairs, and when it is time to go to work. It is very timid, probably because it seldom goes out, after all, it has not seen any big things in the world. The day before yesterday, it was knocked down by a large dog that suddenly came out. It seems that it doesn't know that there are many dogs that are much more powerful than it, so it was seriously frightened and kept humming. 's notice.
We didn't train it a lot of skills, so it basically belongs to the silly eating and drinking type, but it has a correct attitude of admitting mistakes after it has done something wrong, such as turning over the garbage, tearing a piece of paper, etc. It will call it after we enter the door At the moment of his name, he stood at the fixed position of the penalty stand, with a sincere face of repentance.
Xiaojiao is a smart dog. If he is like the dog in the movie, he must have a lot of doubts and ideas in his little head. Many times, he sits on the ground and listens to my lectures. I really understand what I said, because sometimes, I feel that it is pretending to look around to hide its impatience. Does it think that I am long-winded?
Xiaojiao's mission is to accompany us happily, and we have to live in the moment happily and responsibly, just like Bailey and Xiaojiao expected.
