Through an apparent coincidence, a stray Golden Retriever puppy appears in the garden of Akari's house. Akari quickly adopts her, and names it "Socks" because of its distinctive white paws. Akari's mother makes her promise to always keep "The Ten Commandments of Dog Ownership". The mother dies months later, and Akari finds out that the puppy was actually a gift from her mother. Shortly after, Akari's father accepts a new job at a Sapporo-based university and Akari has to move with him to a dormitory. Because the dormitory does not allow pets, Akari is forced to entrust Socks to the care of a friend for a while.
