Dog’s Heartbreaking Cries Thought to Be From Abandonment — Until the Vet Reveals the Real Reason

Revisiting the neighbor

Mary decided to follow up with the neighbor who had mentioned the strange noises, hoping to gather more specific details. After knocking on a few doors, the same elderly woman answered. “Hello, it’s Mary from the shelter,” she said with a polite smile. The neighbor nodded in recognition. “I wanted to ask about the people you noticed visiting the Anderson house,” Mary continued. The woman’s eyes narrowed slightly, but after a brief pause, she stepped aside to let Mary in. “There was one man I noticed coming by often,” the neighbor began.

Frequent visitor at odd hours

“There was a man,” the neighbor began cautiously, choosing her words with care. “He came by often, but always at strange hours—sometimes late at night.” Mary leaned forward, her curiosity sharpening. This felt like a lead. “Can you describe him?” she asked, her voice charged with anticipation. The neighbor nodded, recounting his appearance with surprising precision. “He always seemed in a rush,” she added, her tone laced with unease. “And every time he was here, Bruno would cry.” A flicker of hope ignited in Mary. This could be the breakthrough she had been waiting for.
