My relationship with the dog Ten Promises

Movie Appreciation

This is a very heart-warming film. A golden retriever, a true friendship. Ten years slipped away so quietly. Mingli's young boy lost her mother and her father left for work. Thanks to the "Socks", Mingli will have a life as beautiful and clear as sunshine. Sokes also found her father for Mingli and the warmth of her father's love.

When Mingli left because of her father’s work, Sox lived in the home of Mingli’s friend Hoshikami. When Hoshikika also left because of her studies, she cleverly broke away from her restraints and swam in the heavy rain. Running, looking for the lost owner. Not yet an adult, its body was covered with raindrops, wandering in the rain curtain, crossing the lane regardless of danger. In order to make sure that there was no familiar Mingli in the house, it wandered around the iron fence, squeezed its head into the gap of the iron fence, stuck out its tongue, its eyes were filled with helplessness and despair, it wanted to get through I got into the fence and moved my head up and down a few times, but couldn't do anything.

Socks left the house, turned to look at the passers-by who were running for their lives, and jumped on the bus. It knew the bus, it was the bus that took away Mingli, its dear owner. The owner must still be in the car, combing his hair in two braids, happy that there are no more tears. She would embrace it and welcome it. But the people on the bus, when it shook out countless rainwater, not only had no sympathy, but also used umbrellas to drive it away. The sweat on its body has merged with the rain, and its longing for the Lord leads it, rain or shine.

"It is not a pet, it is our family." Yes, only family members will forgive you for your injustice and neglect of it at the last moment of life; only family members will appreciate it when you are lonely. A photo with you; only family members will help you as always regardless of past grudges.

In Mingli’s eyes, Sokes is the best “socks” in the world. With her golden hair like sunshine, she spreads the warmth of sunshine on Mingli’s young boy.

It is not a pet, it is family.
