### Title
The dog's eyes tell me that his heart is dead: when your pet becomes your only companion
### Description
Every life has its own emotions, and when we see the sadness of "heart like ashes" in the eyes of dogs, we can't help but reflect: what have pets experienced? Today, let's listen to a story about Xiao Zhang and his dog Xiao Wang, a companionship journey full of emotional twists and turns.
### Body
My name is Xiao Zhang, I am Chinese New Year's Eve five years old, and I am an ordinary office worker. In this bustling city, I live a 9-to-5 life, and there is only one dog named Xiaowang in the house. Xiao Wang was adopted by me from a stray dog shelter one winter five years ago. At that time, it was so thin that it was only skinny and bone-like, but its eyes were full of longing for life.
The arrival of Xiaowang has brought a lot of joy to my life. Every day when I came home from work and saw it wagging its tail to greet me at the door, all the tiredness disappeared. We walked together, played together, and shared each other's joys and sorrows. In my heart, Xiaowang has long been more than just a pet, but an indispensable family member in my life.
However, life changes are always so sudden. A year ago, the company suddenly announced layoffs, and I was unfortunately one of them. After losing my job, I was extremely depressed. Every day when I woke up and saw that my home was empty, Xiao Wang seemed to feel my emotions and became extraordinarily quiet. I began to wallow in my own grief, and I cared less and less about Xiao Wang.
Until one day, I accidentally noticed that Xiao Wang's eyes became extremely hollow. It no longer wags its tail happily as it used to, but often lies silently alone in the corner. I'm starting to notice that it eats less and its fur is dull. At that moment, I suddenly realized that Xiao Wang may have also felt my negativity, and his heart was slowly dying.
My heart was twisted, and I began to reflect on my actions. I realized that as the owner of Xiao Wang, not only did I not bring joy and warmth to it, but instead made it suffer more stress and pain. I decided to change myself, for Xiaowang, and for myself.
I started actively looking for new job opportunities, and although the process was difficult, I didn't give up. Every day when I get home, I try my best to adjust my emotions and bring some joy to Xiaowang. I play with it, take it for a walk, and share my experience and mood of looking for a job. Slowly, Xiao Wang's eyes began to become brighter.
One night, I was looking through a job board at home when I suddenly received an interview invitation. At that moment, I was so excited that I almost cried. I knew it was my chance to start over. On the day of the interview, I walked into the door of the company with a confident smile in neat clothes. Eventually, I managed to get the job.
When I got home and told Xiao Wang the good news, he seemed happier than I was. It wagged its tail around me, as if to say, "Master, you are finally cheering up!" "At that moment, I deeply felt Xiao Wang's love and trust in me.
Now, I have found my job again. And Xiao Wang has also become more lively and cute. We enjoyed each day together, as if all the difficulties had vanished. I know that all this is inseparable from Xiaowang's companionship and support. It taught me that no matter how difficult life is, as long as there is love and hope, we will be able to overcome all difficulties.
Finally, I would like to say that pets are the most sincere companions in our lives. Although they can't speak, their eyes and actions can convey the most sincere emotions. When we encounter difficulties and setbacks, we may wish to pay more attention to the pets around us. They may surprise and empower us in the unexpected. At the same time, we should also cherish the time we spend with our pets and let them feel our love and care. Because in this world, there is nothing more precious than love and companionship.
