A Long Way From Home.
When the police came I led them into the woods, where the person was lay half submerged in the lake.
They began putting tape up immediately, taking photographs and calling other officers, leaving me by a tree as I really let the situation sink in.
I had been on a morning walk when I suddenly needed to pee, so, feeling urgent, I dashed into the bushes and did what I had to do.
Then I noticed a smell…
It wasn’t like skunk, or bear scat, it was worse!
Reluctantly, I followed my nose and found the poor victim!
I alerted another walker in panic and he called the police. The other guy had been talking to the investigator for some time, and I wondered, when they would talk to me?
The walker came over and sat beside me. I looked at him worriedly.
“It’ll be okay.” He said.
Eventually, a few hours later, they took the body away and an officer came over.
He gave me a long look. “Good girl. We’d better start looking for your owners, huh?”
I wagged my tail.
