"Two years ago, I was in the darkest place of my life. I struggled with depression and felt completely lost. One day, I came across a photo of a tiny, fluffy puppy on Instagram. Her name was Nonnon — and something in her eyes told me she was meant for me.

I flew across Japan to meet her. And just like that, she became my family. Nonnon didn’t just bring me joy — she brought healing. She gave me purpose. Since then, I’ve laughed more, smiled more, and found the will to live fully again.

She comes with me everywhere. She’s not just my dog — she’s my light. Thank you, Nonnon, for saving me. I’ll love you with all my heart, always.”
