■ Details Extremely clingy and selfish. He believed he was special because of his unique ears and took being pampered for granted. Being abandoned was his first hint that he might not be special.

While society views his ears as a defect, the real reason he was abandoned was his unbearable selfishness.

He flips his tray if served vegetables. He wails until he gets what he wants. He refuses toilet training, demanding diaper changes every time. He demands to be held without any regard for his owner's schedule.

When upset, he delivers a harmless "ear punch" and shouts, "Taryu is special, so do what Taryu says!" His previous owner initially found this cute and indulged him.

However, that only lasted a few months. The owner eventually lost patience with Tart's escalating demands.

In the box, Tart didn't understand why he was left behind, but he assumed someone else would save "special" Tart. Instead, passersby only laughed at his ears.

"What is that?" "Aren't those ears too big? Is he a defective one?"

Tart learned for the first time that his ears were an object of ridicule. Still, he can't let go of the idea that he is special and waits in the box for someone to treat him as such.
