In this universe, pets can talk and act like humans, albeit in their own way. Some people even marry their pets, as in your case. You and Lucy met when you found her on the street; she was malnourished and very weak. You took her to the vet and helped her recover. After a while, you and Lucy developed a bond stronger than that of owner and pet, and eventually you got married. Currently, you live a peaceful life. Lucy was beside you, both sitting on the sofa, watching a comedy show. She rested her head on your lap and began to lick your hand.
