Peter was walking through a wooded area when he suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the bushes that caught his attention. He decided to take a look and to his surprise saw a strange pink creature. When he looked closer, he thought it was a puppy, but he wasn't sure. He decided to take him to the vet. Upon arrival, the vet immediately said: "Where did you get that from? You're not supposed to see that at all!"

A bizarre outburst

Peter and his wife Bianca were completely caught off guard by the vet’s reaction. They had expected that he might have been surprised by the appearance of the puppy, but this outburst felt way out of line. But the vet had a very good reason

He knew this animal

Because unlike Peter and Biance, and anybody they had spoken to so far, the vet actually knew what animal they were dealing with her. It was most definitely not a puppy and not something that Peter should have ever gotten his hands on

The shocking truth

When the vet finally told the couple the truth, they could not believe how stupid they had been. They have made a big mistake taking this creature home…

But what was this strange naked animal really? Why did the vet have such an extreme reaction and in how much trouble was Peter?

It was a sound that Peter was not at all familiar with. He had walked in these woods many times as a child and an adult but never heard anything like this before. And he could not help that it now piqued his curiosity. He needed to find the source. But in hindsight, he wishes that he had just kept walking that faithful day…

The sound led Peter off the forest path and to a couple of bushes. Having no idea what he was dealing with, Peter knew that he had to act carefully. But when he pushed some of the bushes aside and found the creature producing this strange sound, he was quickly at ease

This animal looked anything but dangerous. But the more the looked at it, the less he could make sense of what it actually was. It was clearly a young animal, but Peter was not sure what kind exactly. All he could speculate was that it looked most like a strange puppy. But he would turn out to be very wrong with this assessment.

Unsure of what he found

But despite him not knowing what animal this was exactly, he did understand why it was making this sound. This “puppy’ was much too young o survive here without his mother and seeing how thin it had become, Peter suspected that its mother had not been here in a while

Taking or leaving it?

So Peter was left with a difficult decision to make. Would he leave the puppy here in the hopes that its mother would come back to feed and protect it, or was he going to take matters into his own hands and bring this puppy with him back to the city?

In a bad state

Seeing the state that this poor animal was in, the decision was not a hard one to make. He very carefully reached out to the puppy and lifted the animal up. He got a small bag with him in which the puppy fit perfectly. But the animal did not stop making its crying sounds. It was obviously stressed.

It was about an hour walking back to the city and this gave Peter enough time to figure out what he wanted to do next. He could not go to the vet as he was not open on the weekend. Only for emergencies but that would cost a lot more money. Money that Peter was not willing to spend.

But Luckily Peter was also confident in his own ability to take care of a puppy. They had a dog at home and when he still lived with his parents, they actually had their dog deliver a litter of puppies that he was more than willing to help with. If only he knew what animal he was really dealing with…

The most important thing he needed for this animal was puppy milk and while he did not have a dog that could provide that (His own dog is male), he did know that you can buy adequate substitutes at the pet store. And so on his way home, he went by one. 

People had questions

He still had the strange-looking puppy with him though, and it was drawing a lot of eyes on the store. People had not seen any creature that looked like this before and naturally, Peter started to get questions about it. But his answers left most people unsatisfied

The fact that he had just taken this creature out of the forest rubbed some people the wrong way. And while he believed that he was saving a puppy here, a lot of people were thinking that this was not a puppy at all. But they could also not tell him what he was actually dealing with here

There are a lot of creatures living in the forest of which we have no idea how their babies look. It could easily have very much belonged in the forest and Peter was interfering in something he had no business in. Peter was very much surprised by this negative reaction, mainly because he did not see it like that at all

Doing something noble

In his mind, he was doing something very noble. He was making an effort to save a defenseless and helpless creature! Peter quickly bought the mild he needed and made his way out of the store. He did not need this. And besides, he was still convinced that he was dealing with a puppy of some sort. And he was sure the vet would confirm that to him tomorrow

Keeping this animal alive

For now, he was going to do everything in his power to keep this animal alive. It had stopped its crying a little while ago, but Peter was pretty sure that it was from exhaustion. With how weak it looked, it probably did not have the energy to put up much of a fuss

His wife was surprised

Back home, Peter started preparing the milk before even telling his wife Bianca that he had brought something home. And she walked in on him giving the animal the bottle and was stunned by what she was witnessing. But she did not have time to be shocked for too long as she was forced to act very quickly

Just behind her, their dog Benjamin also walked into the room and the moment he laid eyes on the creature in Peter’s hand, he charged him and started to bark as loud as he could. Bianca just about managed to grab him by the collar and pull him back. They had never seen their dog behave like this

Never reacted like this before

Peter put the animal down for a second and helped Bianca get Benjamin into another room. But even with the door closed, the dog did not stop barking. They were both completely caught off guard by this behavior as Biance herself was notorious for bringing in animals she found and Benjamin had never reacted like that before. What made this animal so different?

With the peace returned to the room a bit, Bianca could finally take a closer look at the animal that her husband had brought in while Peter went back to giving it milk. The animal was drinking as much of it as possible and it started to look better by the second

Not sure it’s a puppy

And while Peter was still very sure that he was dealing with a puppy, Bianca was not so sure. Unlike the people at the pet store, she was actually very happy that Peter brought it home and thinks that he might have saved the creature's life because of this. But she just does not recognize a dog in it.
