This husky named Tony is eleven years old this year. When he was one year old, he was a beloved dog, but later, because his owner was moving, he felt it was inconvenient to have a dog with him, so he gave him to a neighbor. But this dog waited patiently for his owner for the next ten years.



When its owner first moved away, Tony would sit in front of the old house every day, often for the entire day. The neighbors knew Tony was waiting for its owner to come back and pick it up, but the owner had moved far away and couldn't possibly return. However, every time they brought Tony home, it would return to the old house after a while. Gradually, the neighbors stopped stopping it and simply brought food for Tony every day.

And so, regardless of the harsh winter or the sweltering summer, this loyal dog steadfastly guarded the dilapidated house where its owner used to live, never leaving for a single day. In its heart, it surely believed its owner wouldn't abandon it; it firmly believed its owner would return to pick it up and play with it and care for it like when it was a puppy. Ten years passed in the blink of an eye, and news of Tony's arduous wait for its owner's return spread throughout the town. Everyone was moved by Tony's loyalty and often spontaneously brought it food and treats. Some people would sit there with Tony all day, even though they all knew its owner would never return, but no one even considered driving it away.



The news reached a local pet welfare organization, whose members rushed to see Tony, bringing him plenty of food, giving him a bath, and checking him over. After confirming Tony was alright, they decided to help the dog. They tried to find out where the owner had moved through the local police station, but due to the passage of time, they couldn't find the address. They posted Tony's story online, hoping more people would join in helping Tony.

Finally, perseverance paid off, and with the help of the internet, Tony's owner was found. The owner was overjoyed when he heard the news. He drove back to the place where they had met ten years ago and saw his dog waiting for him; tears instantly streamed down his face. People nearby, including those who had heard the news and online friends, were also deeply moved to see Tony finally reunited with his owner. Tony recognized his owner and, the moment he saw him get out of the car, ran and jumped into his arms, barking affectionately. The owner hugged Tony and said, "I will never abandon you again. I will stay with you until we grow old."



After waiting patiently for ten years, Tony finally got his owner and was taken home. Later, the owner posted photos of himself and Tony online to thank netizens for their help. Tony was finally happy again, just like when he was a child.
