The Lonely Man and His Dog
Jack had everything—wealth, success, and admiration—until his world crumbled. Three months ago, he discovered his wife was cheating on him with his best friend. The betrayal ended in a cold divorce, leaving Jack alone in a silent, empty house. To cope with the loneliness, Jack adopted Ralph, a golden retriever whose loyalty became Jack’s comfort.
Ralph’s joyful presence helped Jack find some peace. They developed a quiet routine together—walks, playtime, and late-night talks. But one afternoon, Ralph didn’t return from the backyard. Jack followed the sound of barking and found Ralph sitting beside a crying baby left in a basket on the side of the road.
