Today I'm going to tell you the story of a cat and a Shiba Inu. There's a Shiba Inu named Shino who's over 10 years old, and a cat named Kuu. The Shiba Inu is the older sister, and the cat is the younger brother. They have a very good relationship.

  

However, one day, the Shiba Inu was diagnosed with dementia, a disease that is common in older dogs. The Shiba Inu often forgot who its cat brother and owner were, but none of that mattered. Kuu the cat and its owner stayed by its side, never abandoning it, even though the Shiba Inu often forgot Kuu.

  

When the Shiba Inu was healthy, the cat was always mischievous, always playing and fighting with the gentle Shiba Inu, and stealing its food. But this time, Kuu seemed to know that the Shiba Inu was sick, and began to stay with it. When the Shiba Inu couldn't stand steadily, the cat would support it; when the Shiba Inu fell, the cat would hold it. The cat slept with the Shiba Inu every day, not wanting to be too far away from it.

  

When the Shiba Inu fell ill, the cat always quietly stayed by its side. With the owner's meticulous care and the cat's companionship, the Shiba Inu managed to get through a year with its aging body. Seeing the sincere affection between the cat and the Shiba Inu, netizens were moved to tears, and everyone hoped that they could live happily ever after!

  

Actually, Shino was originally a stray dog. When it came to this family, it wasn't in very good health. But it lived a very happy life in this home, receiving love from its owner and the cats.

  

Unfortunately, the Shiba Inu eventually passed away due to old age. We hope it can continue its happy journey on the Rainbow Bridge. When this news was released, many netizens cried, but the saddest was the cat Kuu. Kuu appeared very depressed, curled up in its blankets, its face filled with sorrow. It slept against the Shiba Inu's pillow, as if the Shiba Inu was still there. Its owner kept comforting Kuu, hoping it could quickly overcome its grief.

  

Even though Shiba Inu Shino has passed away, its owner still frequently posts photos of it online, while also telling netizens that Kuu's mood is gradually improving. The loving scenes between Shiba Inu Shino and Kuu are gone forever, but life must go on. Let's all cheer for Kuu and hope it recovers its happy life soon.

  

Later, the owner adopted another stray cat with a physical disability, and Kuu will continue to live with this new cat!
