My Dog My Master 04 Haruharu Link

His name is Haruharu — “spring spring” in Japanese, a double dose of renewal and gentle breezes. But let me be clear: there is nothing gentle about his dictatorship.

In return, he gives me nothing I can put on a resume, and everything that matters: presence, absurdity, and the daily reminder that I am not the center of the universe. He is.
