Pluto was Rosie's childhood sweetheart, and together they spent three splendid years. Their paths first crossed at a wedding in Ashok Nagar.
Pluto, known for getting aggressive over banquet food, saw Rosie eating mushroom peas behind the tent. He thought to himself, for this enchanting girl, he could leave behind his craving for mushrooms forever.

They chased cars in Noida together, plotted to nip at runners, allowed many break-ins without barking. In summer, Pluto dug a corner pit for Rosie in the park, and during rainfall, they found refuge under a Baleno.
Neither Pluto nor Rosie engaged with social media, shared memes, felt the need for updates, invested in stocks, or gathered knowledge about golden temple pillars. They had no desire to race. Pluto, once a stray, became domesticated when with Rosie.

Winter brought a chill of sadness, a season of separation. The plan was to give their bond a new identity and a family, but fate had other plans.
Pluto set out to search for food for Rosie, acutely aware of where to find mutton and where to get peas. But before he reached those lovers of partial sustenance, municipal staff halted him.
A Noida Municipal Corporation truck awaited with fellow Plutos already inside. Five members captured him. Despite his pleas, claiming he was no longer a stray and had a family, and hadn't harmed anyone in three years, his words were in vain.

The vehicle drove off. Meanwhile, Rosy waited, seeking solace in a blue drum, for Pluto’s return. Her everlasting hope still endures; who knows when it might end? She firmly believes everything will be alright, and Pluto will return one day.
Dogs are inherently more hopeful than humans, never opting for the end, unlike humans. Upon learning her Pluto was seized by the municipal corporation, Rosie vowed to voice dissent against the system.
Now she barks solely at government vehicles. Her resolve filled me with the realization that dogs, too, possess soulful hearts, distinct from their biological ones. And hearts, whether canine or human, inevitably...
break.
