The growing connection between Max and Jake
Jake and Max became inseparable, always together like shadows; I would find them in the backyard playing catch for hours, while my son would shout excitedly, “Look how far he’s going, Mom!” as he threw the ball again, and Max would run back with his tail wagging. They seemed to have known each other forever, like two friends destined to meet; they both needed a companion and found it in each other. The laughter and banter between them was touching, reminding me every day why Max was, without a doubt, perfect for our family.

Max’s strange behavior begins
Things seemed perfect… until they weren’t. One night, Max started acting strangely, pacing back and forth in the living room with his eyes fixed nervously on the dark yard. We watched him, perplexed, as his playful nature gave way to a tense caution. “What’s wrong with him, Mom?” asked Jake, his brow furrowed with concern, while I shrugged my shoulders, not knowing what to answer. It was as if Max sensed something invisible to us, making us uneasy as the sun disappeared behind the trees.
