“You don’t have to be perfect.”

As in the previous book, this is also based on a special episode of my dog named Pero. She is the model of Muffin, a miniature dachshund, who lived happily for 15 years, and died in July 2017.

 This book contains my realizations when Pero was a puppy. Since we had welcomed Pero to the family, there was so much to do. I worked so hard to look after her as if I was her mother. I fed many different kinds of dog food, walked her early in the morning as the sun was coming up, read as many dog training books as I could find, and so on. 

As a result, I got run down because I was too busy. I was disgusted with myself for not being her good and perfect mother. I had no choice but to ask my family to look after her. 

Surprisingly, Pero looked very happy even my family took care of her. I gradually realized: “I don’t have to be perfect.

I can count on others. Even I don’t try so hard, Pero would be very happy and grow up.”
