Amid the ruins, beneath the echo of sirens and smoke, he waited. The chain had long eaten into his neck, his fur gone, his body frail β€” yet his eyes still searched for the one he loved. Days blurred into nights, hunger gnawed, cold cut through his bones, but his heart whispered only one thing: β€œThey’ll come back. I know they will.” And when that familiar voice finally called his name through the ashes, he lifted his head. There was no strength left in him, no bark, no cry β€” only a trembling gaze that said everything words could not: β€œI waited. I never stopped believing.” In that moment, broken and fragile as he was, he became a symbol of something eternal β€” love that neither war, pain, nor time could destroy. A heart that never gave up, even when the world did. πŸ’”πŸΎ #dogslover #rescuedog #straydogs #loyaldog
