--Story Below—

Keilan was a young boy from Ireland who was devastated by the loss of his beloved dog. His dog had been his faithful companion for years, and his death left a hole in Keilan's heart that he thought would never heal.

As the days went by, Keilan tried to go about his daily activities, but he couldn't shake off the feeling that his dog was still with him. Sometimes, he would hear a familiar bark or whine, and he would turn around, expecting to see his dog by his side. Other times, he would feel a rush of energy or warmth, as if his dog was still with him, watching over him.

Keilan found comfort in these moments, even though they also made him miss his dog even more. He knew that his dog's spirit was still with him, guiding him, and protecting him, even though he couldn't see him.

One day, as Keilan was walking in the park he noticed a figure in the distance. It looked just like his dog. But as he got closer, the dog ran further away. He continued to follow it until he got to an old tree. Then it disappeared. However, at the tree, he saw a small, white puppy, and it looked lost and scared. As Keilan got closer, he realized that the puppy looked exactly like his dog.

Keilan felt his heart racing as he approached the puppy. As he bent down to pick him up, he felt a surge of energy and warmth, as if his dog's spirit was with him at that moment. He knew that his dog had led him to this puppy, as a way of showing him that he was still with him, even though he was no longer alive.

As Keilan took the puppy home, he felt a sense of connection and joy that he hadn't felt since his dog passed away. He knew that this puppy was a gift from his dog, a way of reminding him that he was still loved and cherished, even in death.
