In a quiet Ukrainian town, Svetlana’s life centered around her little boy, Artem. One morning, while she stepped out briefly to take out the trash, Artem climbed the couch and fell. When she rushed back, his cries felt different — and terrifyingly so.
Soon, doctors confirmed her worst fear: nerve damage had left Artem partially paralyzed. Svetlana was devastated but determined to fight for his recovery.
Therapy followed, but progress was painfully slow. Svetlana was exhausted and overwhelmed by guilt, missing the lively child he once was. Then, a caring coworker, Elena, suggested something unexpected — an emotional support dog.
Svetlana hesitated, but hope stirred. If a dog could bring even a flicker of joy back to Artem’s life, it was worth a try. The next day, she began her search — not just for a pet, but a friend who might help her son heal.
