This is such an adorable story! I love seeing spotlight wins like this. A completely original idea/concept that just defies what normally people expect to see when scrolling past the Pet Spotlights. Fantastic job my friend~!

Looking at this pet's name the first thing that came to mind is "Where's the 4"? Next thing was "Why that name"? You've done a beautiful job with Gabbo, your story is heart wrenching ... and I'm doubled over laughing over how you included '4'! BRAVO!

I'm disgusted with the guy who created then pounded dozens of pets just for the Achievement. Seriously, he should lose that Achievement as it's abusing the system.

This is so beautiful. Made me tear up. I really wish we were able to have a collection of our favorite pet pages (other than bookmarking them). This would definitely go in mine.

i don't usually click the pet spotlight winners, usually they are unique in a way, but i couldn't scroll past this name and just had to read. great job, i haven't read many other pet spotlight winners, so i honestly can't compare. but this one got me to click, which is way better than usually. congrats, great job again.

I was curious like many others when I saw this pet in the spotlight. So I had decided to read it for myself and man what a story and I need a tap to turn off my faucet that's on my face. It's just these touching moments and how much effort you put into a pet that you love and cherish that really counts and matters. I'm so glad to see this pet had won and congratulations on the win but I hope it impacts people's hearts more than anything from taking a chance to read the story.

Last year, someone made a bunch of pets to get the massive family achievement and they all had names similar to this one. They flooded the adoption center afterwards, and this one got adopted and had a pet story made out of it.

10/10 best spotlight ever Congrats War and Gabbo :)

So glad I took the time to pause on this one. I only wish it hadn't been because of my own notions about what spotlight pets look like. Thank you for proving me wrong :)

I'm curious about whatever mod judges the Pet Spotlight winner reaction' was when he saw this. Must've been even more surprised than all the folks around here. This was the first time I ever read a full winners story, too :b

This is an amazing pet. It shows that just because a pet doesn't have a fancy overlay or name doesn't mean they don't deserve to be in the spotlight. Congrats on a well deserved win!

For a second I thought my pets were all out of the resort by the amount of notifications I had this morning! This is certainly shocking. My first spotlight win and it goes to gabbo! C:

The response is all overwhelming - I am a mere subeta hermit. Thank you all so much for the kind words! I'm so humbled to hear gabbo inspired people to keep making pets for spotlights - all I ever want is to see pretty pets flood my front page. c:

Also thank god, now I can finally fix the one tiny grammar error that's been on his page for months! Much love to all.

Honestly I rarely ever read the stories of the spotlight winners, but that name piqued my curiosity. What a heartwarming, lovely story! And a way to teach us all that names shouldn't matter, great job!

(It also reminds me of those pets at the pet stores that no one seems to want, and I'm wishing I could take them home with me...not to mention all those animals at the pet shelters who may never find a home T_T)
