Mark couldn't stop grinning. He was positively buzzing. The drawing in front of him depicted a wobbly, three-legged dog with a top hat. It was Winston, his imaginary canine companion, a lover of tea and philosophical debates.

He had buried Winston deep in his memory. Now, here he was, brought back to life by his nephew, Ethan. He felt a powerful urge to clap his hands, to sing, to do something…anything!

"He's a very smart dog," Ethan explained, his voice serious. Mark squeezed Ethan's shoulder, a grin plastered on his face. The world seemed brighter.
