The dog's journey is a raw metaphor for the struggle with PTSD and bipolar disorder, reflecting the internal chaos and emotional volatility that comes with trauma. Abandoned and betrayed by those he trusted, he cycles between intense attachment and violent outbursts, unable to control his anger or trust those who offer kindness. Through his story, we see how trauma distorts self-worth, trust, and relationships, and how the road to healing is a painful journey of learning to trust again.
