Usually, when people adopt a pet, they don’t really know much about the life it had before it met them. Sadly, a lot of animals who end up in shelters never really got the best quality of life that they could have been given. Most of the time, they had abusive owners, were abandoned, or were just found on the street before they were taken in and given a home to sleep in. It’s really not the easiest thing in the world to be a dog unless you have a loving family that will always be there to look out for you and give you an endless amount of affection. In return, as a dog, you watch out for your family and make sure that you do your best to keep them safe and sound. This family learned the hard way, that things aren’t always what they seem and dogs can never cease to surprise us.
The Svilicic family
Our story takes place in Australia, where we find the Svilicic family, a husband and wife, and a small baby girl who all lived together. Catherine Svilicic, the mother in the family, wanted nothing more than to look after her daughter, Charlotte, who was just a baby at this point in time in the story.
But she knew that because Charlotte was an only child, that life might be lonely for her at such a young age. She was not sure if she wanted another child and she didn’t know if being alone, without a sibling would have a negative impact on her newly born daughter.
