“Family Adopts New Horse – Veterinarian Immediately Calls the Police”
As the Anderson family settled into their new home, little did they know that those brilliant blue eyes would steal their hearts. However, their plans took an unexpected turn when their trusted veterinarian quickly contacted the police. What awaited the family was more than they had ever anticipated…
The Anderson Family
The Andersons were a young family residing in Vermont. Billy, Erica, and their six-year-old daughter, Jane, lived in a small village. Recently, the family had suffered a great loss and still mourned their beloved Rio.
A World out of Reach
Erica’s home life had never been pleasant. Verbal and emotional neglect from her parents had marked her childhood. Her every move was scrutinized, and she was never allowed to spend time with friends.
Best Friends
For the first two years, it was just Erica and Rio. They were undoubtedly best friends. Life hadn’t been easy for Erica, and having a loyal friend by her side made it more manageable.
Grief
Rio had been an integral part of the family, a steadfast presence for Erica and her daughter. When Rio passed away, it was evident that there would be significant changes. The family grieved but refused to be consumed by sorrow.
Ready for a Change
Erica and Billy discussed getting a new horse several times. Billy expressed concerns that Erica might be rushing into forming a bond with a new animal. Some time passed, and when Erica broached the subject again, Billy finally agreed.
The Online Search
The couple was unfamiliar with different breeders and hoped the internet would provide them with answers. After some research, they found two breeding facilities in their vicinity, planning to visit both on the weekend.
Sold Out
The second breeder didn’t bring them any luck either. Despite the seemingly reputable establishment and healthy horses, they received disappointing news. The breeder had just sold his last two horses. Frustration washed over Erica and Billy.
A Closer Look
Erica was thrilled. She had almost given up hope and couldn’t believe her luck when they came across a farm with horses. She asked Billy to stop there. The young family wanted to inquire at least.
The Eyes
One of the Mustangs looked different from the other horses, not only to Erica but also to their daughter. It had special eyes. They were piercing blue. The horse stood there motionless, staring towards the stable door.
An exception
Normally, the farm would take care of verifying the identity and health of the animal, but since it was a small village, they could leave it to the new owners. Eric and Billy looked at each other – would they really take on this project?
Excitement
It took about an hour to finalize everything and load the horse into the trailer. Then they were on their way home, filled with excitement. Jane would now have a best friend, that much was certain!
But soon, a discovery would dampen their excitement. They had taken on the responsibility of scheduling a vet appointment to have the horse undergo a health check. Little did they know what this would bring them.
Bringing the horse home
Jane named her new friend “Shadow” and they managed to contact the vet on the same day. They would visit him the next day to have the horse examined, and he would issue them a certificate if everything was okay.
Not yet knowing the truth
The family had already fallen head over heels in love with the horse and they were incredibly happy to have brought it home. They watched as the horse settled in and were grateful to be part of its life.
A perfect replacement?
The family was happier than they had been in some time. They thought they had found the perfect replacement for Rio, and all their wishes and hopes had been answered. However, a shock would soon follow.
Confusion
Shadow was no longer in the stable. When Billy stepped outside, he saw Shadow standing by the back door, clearly waiting for something. Billy was confused, Rio had never done anything like this. It was strange behavior.
Extraordinary Eyes
While Shadow’s behavior was odd, their vet visit was imminent. They prepared the horse and briefly considered whether to bring Jane along. However, Jane wouldn’t miss this experience.
A Lot of Attention
No one had ever seen a horse with such blue eyes before. The family received numerous questions they could barely answer. They hadn’t even seen the vet yet. Why did Shadow have such bright blue eyes?
Lack of Pigmentation
The only logical explanation was quite uninteresting. Apparently, there were simply animals, like humans, that couldn’t produce pigmentation. Maybe the vet knew more about it. Waiting became boring.
Taking Shadow Away
The vet inspected Shadow closely, then took him to another room. Billy thought they would be allowed to witness the examination, but apparently, the vet had some tests to run. So they waited patiently.
Involving the Police
The vet now explained to the family that he had contacted the police and they would soon arrive to take Shadow away. Billy and Erica were speechless, and Jane immediately burst into tears. She screamed that she wanted her horse back.
A precautionary measure
The vet continued speaking. The family was not in trouble because they had acquired the horse legitimately. The CEO and the police arrived 30 minutes later. The CEO confirmed that it was his horse. The family could do nothing but face the truth.
