They say dogs know what we don’t and see what we can’t. When my mother-in-law took my kids for the weekend, my dog wouldn’t stop howling at the door. Dread crept in, so I drove to her house to see if the kids were okay… only to freeze at the sight my dog had sensed all along.
I’m Rachel, and I used to believe the people closest to my kids were the ones I could count on. Turns out, the ones you trust the most are sometimes the ones you should watch the closest.
Daisy, my German Shepherd, had been glued to my side for four years. She never barked at the mailman and never growled at a soul. But three weeks ago… something shifted.
The first time my mother-in-law Linda walked through my front door after returning from her vacation in Millbrook, Daisy’s ears flattened against her head. A low, threatening growl rumbled from deep in her chest… something I’d never heard before.
