Saved
For some reason, the dog was never on a leash. She always
saw the dog walking about thirty feet in front of his owner, but the owner did
not seem to have much control of the dog. Over time, she began to see the dog
looking dirtier and it had a slight limp on its front left leg. Paige knew that
something had to be wrong.
One day when she was coming home from school, her
neighbor asked, “Do you know who owns a little black dog in this neighborhood?
I saw the dog limping around, and it almost got hit by a car. There was nobody
with him.”
She was so frustrated with this whole situation of the
owner not properly caring for his dog, so Paige decided to do something about
this. She went for a walk around the neighborhood, trying to see if she could
find the little dog. She was searching and searching and searching, but she just could not find him. So, she
decided to give up. While walking back home, she heard a car honking its horn over
and over again. Paige ran to the scene, only see the little black dog lying in
the middle of the street. The dog was hyperventilating and looked like he had
no strength at all. He acted as if he didn’t even care that the car could have
run him over—like he just wanted to die.
Paige immediately ran to the dog and scooped him up,
laying him gently on the grass. She felt so sorry for the dog and was thinking
of ways to help it. The dog was still whimpering and badly shaking, so she
decided to take him back to her house to try and care for him. She laid him on
some clean blankets, fed him, and gave him fresh, cold water, allowing him to
just rest throughout the night.
The next morning, the little dog was in a much better
condition. He was wagging his tail and roaming around the house, although he
still had his slight limp. Paige and the little dog were very much enjoying
each other’s company. In the afternoon, however, the doorbell rang. When Paige
opened the door, she saw the owner of the dog. “Some neighbors said you had my
dog. I want him back. Now,” he said. Immediately, Paige slammed her front door
shut and locked it. She knew she could not return the dog into the arms of his
careless owner. The next seven minutes consisted of the man banging on the
door, yelling for her to open the door and give him back her dog. He refused to
leave.
Paige and the little dog filled with fear, so she decided
to call the police, “There is a strange man banging on my door and yelling at me,
and he won’t leave me alone, please come quick!”, she said. When the police
came, they held the man back and asked Paige to open the door, and as soon as
she did the owner of the dog was yelling, claiming that she kidnapped the dog.
One of the officers asked what happened, and Paige explained the whole
situation truthfully. “I don’t believe that this man’s home is fit to properly
care for this innocent dog,” said Paige.
The two officers, the dog owner, and Paige all went to
investigate the dog owner’s house to see if he had the essentials to care for
the little black dog. Everything seemed fine and clean, until one of the
officers touched the doorknob of a door hiding behind a curtain, and the dog
owner said, “Do not open that door. You’ve seen enough.” The officer refused to
listen to the dog owner and opened the door. He could not believe his eyes, and
neither could the other officer and Paige. What they saw behind that door
almost made them faint. “I told you not to open that door,” said the dog owner.
3 shots fired-- the first one hit one of the officers, the second hit the second
officer, and the third hit Paige, and the 3 lifeless bodies dropped to the
ground.
