We stared down at the poor, lifeless creature. Its body lay flat on the ground; at first glance, one could assume that it was sleeping. The four of us surrounded it, observing with threats of tears showing in our eyes. I reach down. My hands run over its soft fur. I can feel no warmth within its skin. 

"How did he die?" I asked with a shaky voice.

A low voice responds, "I dunno, was just fine this morning, started looking tired after breakfast, and then..."

He places a shaky hand over his face-shaking his head. 

"he's only three...I take him to the vet they said he's healthy"

"Let's take him to the vet- find out what happened," Emily suggested.

The group nodded in silent agreement.

***

The necropsy revealed something unusual in the dog's system; a poison. The atmosphere went heavy when this information was revealed. Nobody knew what to say- what to think even. 

"W-why would anyone even think of doing that?" 

Sobs started emitting out of Emily. Streaks of tears gushed down her face.

"I don't understand-this poor dog- just why?"

I couldn't find words. Couldn't think of any answers. 

Maxi was a friendly, well-trained dog. The more I thought the more questions arose.
