Translate the story:
Вот и настал тот день, когда Драджо готовился лететь на планету Драконов. Они оба знали, что он принял правильное решение, но все равно им было очень грустно. Они провели вместе больше года и очень привязались друг к другу. Несколько последних дней до отлета они играли во все любимые игры, посещали все любимые места, прощались со всеми собаками, кошками и крысами района, пока не пришло время улетать. Куджо приготовил все любимые блюда Драджо на прощальный ужин, собрал сотню ланч-боксов в дорогу и подарил ему маленькую фигурку акиты на память.
