Once upon a time there was a dog named Charlie. He was born on a cold snowy day. He was alone and had no parents or friends.
One day, He realized that he had the special ability to know the lifespan of a human being. He knew who would die and when. However, he only knew the lifespan of humans, not himself or other dogs.
He was always observing humans, so he knew that humans were “death” feared creatures, so He went to humans who were about to die and sat on their lap trying to heal them.
At one time Charlie sat on the lap of a sick old woman, and at another time he sat on the lap of a cheerful boy. He knew that dying was sad and very lonely, so he continued to snuggle up to those who were dying to warm the hearts of those who died. As he wished, everyone who spent time with him smiled, and he saw off the deaths of many.
Then, rumors were widespread in the city that “You will die if you get close to the dog.”Those who heard this rumor no longer approached Charlie. He became alone again.
Charlie was trembling under the bench on a cold snowy day, almost freezing to death. He had not eaten for two days because he could not find food because it was winter and humans started to avoid him. He thought he would probably die here.
When his consciousness was far away and he was trying to close his eyes, he heard the girl's voice. When I opened my eyes, a girl with a gentle face was talking to him. Charlie did not know what she was saying, but it turned out to be warm words, so he did not resist her trying to hold him in the arm. He slept in her arms.
Charlie was in front of the fireplace in a house he did not know when he woke up. When he noticed he woke up, the girl gave him warm food. It was the first time he had eaten food with such peace of mind.
The girl's name is Emma. She was in delicate health and did not leave the house so much that she did not have any friends. She knew that the dog rumored in the city was probably him. However, she was alone like Charlie, so she decided to keep him.
They soon became friends. They went for a walk together, and when they went to bed, they slept together and always spent time together. Emma was in delicate health, but after spending time with Charlie, she got well. They had a very happy time.
However, such happy days did not last forever. A few years later, Charlie was breathing painfully on Emma's lap. Charlie does not know his lifespan, but he found his lifespan is not long. Emma continued to gently stroke him.
Charlie remembered the day he met Emma. He knew that her life was decades left, so “She lives longer than I do, so I don't have to see anyone die anymore,” he thought. Emma continued to gently stroke Charlie over and over again. Charlie was really happy to meet Emma.
Charlie gently closed his eyes while looking at Emma. She hugged him, who was getting colder. “You have seen this moment many times,” she said and shed tears. She was as happy to meet him as he was.
Charlie was born on a cold snowy day. But he had a warmer heart than anyone else. And he died in a very warm place.
