In Memory of My Dog

Earlier this month, my 15-year-old dog passed away.

During my grieving period, I watched the documentary series “Inside the Mind of a Dog” on Netflix. It made me realize how little I truly understood about the emotional and psychological world of dogs.

We often see pets as companions in our lives, but rarely stop to wonder how they experience the world themselves — their emotions, their fears, their loyalty, their quiet ways of loving.

I created this illustration in memory of my dear dog.

The golden star behind him symbolizes the inner light and soul that animals carry — a reminder that their lives are not “lesser” than ours simply because they cannot speak our language.

Through this illustration, I hope to keep my dear dog alive in this world a little longer, while also raising awareness about the psychological and emotional well-being of animals.

Some beings leave footprints deeper than words ever can.
