No.1　 Meeting with Ron

It was still cold in March 6.
The long-awaited puppy arrived.
Wrapped in a cushion and a towel, he behaved as if he was cold.
He was named Ron, after the brave and wonderful hero dog I saw on TV.
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　From 8-year-old Non-chan

Non-chan had always wanted to get a puppy.
One day, Non-chan's father came home with a puppy wrapped in a towel and a small *futon.
How Non-chan must have longed for this day.

His face was peeking out from inside the towel.
His eyes and nose were black and wet.
Non-chan did not know whether he was cold or afraid, but he was shaking.

When Non-chan brought her face close to his, his eyes, black as marbles, were staring at her.
When her father gently put the futon down on the tatami mat, the puppy crawled out of the towel and walked a few steps, staggering a bit.

"Oh, he's so cute!”said Non-chan.
When Non-chan put her hand close to his, he gently licked her hand.
That tickles! Non-chan thought, but at that moment she felt very happy.

Non-chan's mother filled a small dish with water and placed it in front of him, who drank for a while, making a licking sound.
He must have been thirsty.
"Maybe he was worried about where he was going to be taken.
Don't worry! You're going to be family from now on.
We'll walk together every day.”

Non-chan named this puppy "Ron.
She named him after a brave and gentle dog she had seen on TV when she was a little girl named "London," a dog who traveled alone.
London was big and imposing, but this little boy is a small dog with soft white fur like a plush toy. So she took only the first three letters of his name and cutely chose "Ron.
Thus, the encounter with Ron made a big impression on Non-chan's heart.
