Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She had a beautiful dog named Max. They were best friends and did everything together. But one day, Max got sick and couldn't get better. Lily was very sad because she loved Max so much.

Lily missed Max a lot. She felt a big empty space in her heart without him. It was hard for her to smile and have fun like she used to. But then, her mom said something that made her feel better. She said, 'Lily, even though Max is not here with us anymore, he will always be in our hearts.'

Lily decided to remember all the happy times she had with Max. She looked at pictures, told stories, and laughed at the silly things he did. It made her feel closer to him, even though he wasn't there. And little by little, Lily started to feel a little less sad.

One day, Lily saw a stray dog wandering outside. The dog looked lost and sad, just like she used to feel. Lily decided to help the dog. She fed him, gave him water, and named him Buddy. Taking care of Buddy made Lily happy because it reminded her of taking care of Max.

Lily realized that while she would always miss Max, there was still room in her heart for love and happiness. And whenever she looked at Buddy, she knew that Max was watching over her, sending love from doggie heaven.
