A woman saw a German Shepherd dragging a heavy sack… What she found inside made her hair stand on end….

Emily calmly walked along the country road, enjoying the silence and the cool breeze. The road was almost empty, with only occasional birds flying overhead, and somewhere in the distance, the faint rustle of the woods could be heard. Her thoughts were far away, but suddenly her gaze caught a strange movement ahead.

A few dozen yards from her, a German Shepherd was slowly but persistently dragging a large sack behind it. The rough fabric of the sack scraped along the ground, leaving a trail on the dusty road. The dog looked exhausted but did not stop.

Emily slowed her pace, curiously examining the animal. What was happening? Why was this dog dragging a sack? Maybe it was her game, or… something much stranger. She looked more closely and noticed that the sack was twitching slightly.

Emily’s heart tightened. There was something or someone inside. Anxiety grew with every second.

Emily took a deep breath and resolutely walked forward. She had to find out what was going on. Emily slowly approached, her heart beating faster and faster.

Her mind raced between curiosity and anxiety. There was something wrong about this sight. Why was the dog so desperately dragging the sack? She took another step forward.

The Shepherd tensed but did not run away. On the contrary, she clenched the fabric of the sack even tighter with her teeth, as if protecting it. «It’s okay, girl,» whispered Emily, trying to speak as softly as possible.

But the dog did not loosen her grip. Emily stopped. There was no aggression in the Shepherd’s eyes, but something else was there—desperation.

Whatever was inside the sack, it was extremely important to the dog. She decided not to rush. Carefully, without sudden movements, she knelt down to not appear threatening.

«Are you scared, huh?» whispered Emily. «But of what?»—the dog whined. That quiet, plaintive sound pierced Emily to the core.

She looked at the sack and noticed it move again. Something inside was stirring, her pulse quickened. «Oh, God!» she whispered, her eyes widening.

Now the sack was not just moving. From inside came a faint sound, as if someone was breathing. But who? A person? An animal? Dozens of thoughts swirled in her head.

The dog took a step back. She no longer growled. Now her gaze said…

«Open it! Quickly!» Emily swallowed. Her fingers trembled as she reached for the knot.

The fabric was old and dirty, tied with rough knots. Someone had deliberately tied it very tightly, not wanting the contents to escape. She tried to untie the knot, but it was too tight.

Time was passing, and inside someone might be suffocating. Without thinking, Emily grabbed the nearest sharp stone and began tearing the fabric. The Shepherd held her breath.

She no longer moved. She waited. Finally, the fabric gave way, and the sack opened a little.

Emily peered inside. What she saw made her heart stop. From the darkness, tiny frightened eyes looked at her.

There was… Emily held her breath. The sack’s fabric was rough, worn, with an unpleasant smell of dampness and dirt. With each movement of her fingers, the tension in the air grew.

The German Shepherd stood nearby, not taking her eyes off. There was no more growling, no fear, only anticipation. Emily carefully unfolded the sack…
