Mila was proud of her latest litter. Six puppies would mean hard work but she was experienced in puppy raising.

As Mila watched her puppies at play, one caught her attention, “Hani, tail chasing did not help. You won’t catch it.”

Hani stopped his chasing, “Mumma, it’s not the chasing. If we aren’t willing to try the impossible, we don’t grow.”

Mila, looking to her other puppies, heard a muffled call, “Mumma!”

Turning, she realised Hani was destined for greatness. He sat with tail in mouth.

In time, Hani grew into a rescue dog renowned for his bravery and willingness to go where others wouldn’t.
