My 8-year-old son, Andy, had pleaded for a dog for months. My wife eventually agreed though with strict conditions and we brought home a scruffy shelter mutt Andy named Daisy. From the start, Andy and Daisy were inseparable, even though my wife clearly had doubts. That first night, Daisy was restless pacing, whining, unable to settle. I chalked it up to nerves. But by morning, both Daisy and Andy were gone.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Panic took hold. Andy\u2019s bedroom window was wide open, and terrifying thoughts flooded my mind. Hours later, Daisy returned muddy, exhausted, and alone which only added to our confusion and dread. Then, just after sunrise, a neighbor called to say she\u2019d seen a boy near the woods. We rushed there, and I found Andy curled up under a tree, clinging to Daisy. His first words pierced me: \u201cI thought you ran away because of me.\u201d His attachment to Daisy had led him out into the darkness.<\/p>\n<p>Back at home, relief gave way to uneasy questions. I asked my wife how Daisy had gotten out. After a long pause, she confessed something unimaginable: she had let Daisy out intentionally. She didn\u2019t believe the dog belonged in our home, never thought Andy would follow, and just wanted life to go back to \u201cn<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What began as a happy outing to adopt a family pet turned into a night I\u2019ll never forget.
