The small dog that had been missing for almost 20 days has finally returned home. I have two dogs in my hometown, both of which enjoy being around people and following them. Larger dogs tend to be more intelligent and can understand human commands, while smaller dogs are less noticeable and are hesitant to venture outside.

One day, my dad took his electric bike out, and the little dog decided to follow him. My mom was concerned and warned the dog not to follow, fearing it might get caught and disappear. My dad reassured her, saying it was fine and that the dog would find its way back later. However, that day, the dog did not return, and my mom blamed my dad for not heeding her warning.

When the big dog realized the little one was missing, it went to search for it, barking for several days. Each time it was fed, it would turn away and leave. Life continued on, and my mom suggested that if the little dog returned, we should keep it for breeding. However, we felt the chances were slim since the dog had only been with us for less than six months and usually wandered off two or three kilometers from Uncle’s house. After so many days, we feared it might have met a tragic fate.

Then yesterday, my mom sent me a message saying that the little dog had come back. An uncle had asked my dad if he owned a white dog. My dad confirmed, and the uncle explained that the dog had followed him all morning and continued to do so in the afternoon, suggesting we check if it was ours.

Upon hearing this, my dad quickly rode over to see. When the little dog spotted him, it ran up excitedly, wagging its tail as if to say, “I’m back!” The big dog was overjoyed to see its companion return, wagging its tail and playing happily with the little dog.
