The car rolled to a stop. A small dog stood frozen in the street, unsure where to go. The boy’s heart pounded. He jumped out, scooping her up in his arms. She was trembling, helpless. “Can we keep her?” he asked, eyes hopeful. His mother hesitated. They hadn’t planned on a dog, but the choice felt clear.
A Bond Forms Instantly
Once home, Sebastian couldn’t take his eyes off her. He adored animals, and this little dog stole his heart. She curled against him, already trusting. He sat beside her, watching her breathe, feeling the weight of the moment. His mother noticed how deeply he cared. This wasn’t just excitement—this was something real.
Learning to Care for Nala
They named her Nala and made sure she had food and medicine. She had a small space outside, but she refused to stay away from Sebastian. She followed him, resting at his feet whenever he stopped moving. She wanted to be close, always. Looking after her became natural. She belonged with them.
A Serious Discussion
One evening, Sebastian approached his mother. “We can do this,” he said firmly. He explained how they were already caring for Nala—feeding her, letting her out, waking when she needed them. His mother listened carefully. She saw his dedication. This wasn’t a passing wish. He was ready to be responsible, and she knew it.
A Final Decision
His mother let out a deep breath before smiling. “You can keep Nala,” she said. Relief washed over Sebastian. The little dog was no longer a stray. She was theirs now. They had saved her, but she had given them something, too. A home felt different when love like this was in it.
A New Beginning
Sebastian never imagined how quickly he would love her. Now, he couldn’t picture life without her. Nala had been lost, but now she had a home, a best friend, and a family who would never leave her. She would always be safe. She would always be loved. She was finally where she was meant to be.
