Dogs are said to be able to perceive what humans fail to see and feel what we dismiss. Daisy, my dog, howled at the door as if her whole being was being torn apart when my mother-in-law took my children away for the weekend. Suddenly, I felt a cold in my stomach, and it compelled me to check on my children. What I discovered in her residence provided more evidence that Daisy had been attempting to convey to me all along.
My name is Rachel, and I used to think that the individuals who were closest to my children were the most secure. However, there are instances when the people you trust the most are the ones you need to keep the closer eye on.
