Today I had to punish my son a little.

Today I had to punish my son a little.

I left him in a corner to think.

But before long, someone had already come over and sat down next to him.

His best friend.

His protector.

His dog.
The dog approached silently, sat down beside him, and rested his head on his shoulder, as if to say:

“Don’t be sad, I’m with you.”
No reproaches or questions, just silence, affection, and loyalty. At that moment, I understood:

A dog isn’t just a pet. It’s part of the family,
a spiritual companion, a child’s most sensitive friend.

In their world,
it doesn’t matter what you’ve done,
it doesn’t matter if you get punished.

One thing is important:
“I love you and I will always be there.”
