When I return home to my parents’ house, my beloved dog, Murphy comes running to greet me, wagging his tail. Murphy’s was named after the actor, Eddie Murphy and he is a Kishu mixed breed. Even when I don’t come home for half a year, Murphy doesn’t forget me. Murphy is 50 years old in human years, but it is still too soon to call him an old dog; he is middle-aged. I want him to do his best to stay healthy until I become self-sufficient and return home.
