Woman Insists On Staying With Dog, Husband Learns Costly Lesson

Trying To Tell Him Something

Crosby was trying to tell him something but he didn’t understand. He looked at the wall in question and back at the footage.

He got up off his chair and walked over to the wall. The usually sullen Crosby raced over and barked in excitement. It was the most alive he’d seen Crosby in weeks. Feeling encouraged, he placed his ear on the wall.

His Family

Ever since 29-year-old George Miller adopted his dog Crosby, they’ve been inseparable. As a single young man living in a big city far away from any relatives, Crosby is not only Miller’s best friend, but his family. They do everything together.

Miller describes Crosby as loyal and sensitive, and one of the friendliest dogs you’ll ever meet. But there was something else that Miller didn’t know about his beloved pooch.

Long Walks

The incident left Miller stunned. He had no idea how his dog did that, moreover, how his dog was able to communicate so effectively with him. It was as if Miller had never fully seen him before.

Miller often took Crosby out for walks and playtime at the dog park. He was always amused at how easily Crosby got attached to his surroundings, as well as other animals.

Friends

Like most dogs, Crosby was naturally very trusting with an insatiable curiosity. These traits led him into all sorts of mischief but also to his best friend – the dog and cat next door. They had been best friends for nearly 8 years, until disaster struck.

Crosby lost both of his furry friends back to back within a few short months. Their owner was devastated but something in Crosby changed.

Oblivious

At first, Miller didn’t think much of Crosby’s different behavior. He carried on with their daily routines and his work as usual, completely oblivious to the warning signs.

Then one day, Miller returned from a long day at work expecting Crosby to greet him at the door like always. Instead, he saw something he never wanted to see again.

Staring At The Wall

Crosby looked static, almost possessed as he stared unblinking at the living room wall. Miller called his name but he didn’t turn around. What was wrong with him? Could he hear Miller?

Miller raised his voice as he called for him again. Still no reaction. So he walked over to him and his eyes followed Crosby’s to the spot on the wall. What was he staring at? What was happening?

Snapping Out Of It

It wasn’t until Miller stood directly in front of Crosby and sweetly asked “what is it boy?” while giving him a worried rub that Crosby quickly snapped out of his trance.

Miller scratched his head as he tried to understand what happened. “He seems to hear me fine now”, Miller thought, “Maybe it was just a bug?”. But it wasn’t a bug. It was something much bigger.

Strange Behavior

Everything seemed fine with Crosby that evening until it hit midnight. Miller went downstairs to get himself a glass of water when he saw doing the exact same strange behavior that worried him earlier.

Except this time, he noticed something different, there was a new gloominess to Crosby. He looked absolutely miserable as he hung his head low, staring at the exact same spot on the wall. Enough was enough.

Getting To The Bottom Of It

Miller woke up very early the next morning and drove straight to the store. He bought a recording camera with night vision, and installed it in the house before he went to work.

He waited until the next day to watch it. He had a whole day and night’s worth of footage to watch through. Was this what Crosby did when Miller was away? Why was he doing this? What would the camera record?

Trying To Communicate

Weird. The footage showed Crosby staring at this wall only when Miller was about to enter the room. He was trying to tell him something? Miller looked at the wall in question and back at the footage.

As he walked over to the wall, Crosby raced over and barked. It was the most alive he’d seen Crosby in weeks. Or more accurately, since his best friends had passed. With encouragement from Crosby, he placed his ear on the wall.

Something Inside

Crosby let out another cheerful bark as Miller dropped to his knees for a closer inspection. Suddenly, he heard a noise and froze. “What on earth was that?” he whispered.

His heartbeat raced as he realized something was inside the wall. He broke off a piece of the wooden paneling that had fallen loose right next to the floor. His jaw dropped as he looked wildly back to Crosby.

A Kitten

A little kitten had hidden itself within the loose wall paneling of the wall between his living room and washroom. However, what was bizarre about this was that the kitten closely resembled Crosby’s best cat friend.

What’s more is that it was almost impossible for the kitten to have gotten inside the house by itself. Crosby must have brought her in somehow in all his despair for company.

Trying To Find The Owners

Miller immediately looked for the kittens’ owners but couldn’t find any. He went around to all his neighbors and even hung up posters. However he never heard anything back.

Some neighbors told Miller that they had seen the kitten in the street before and think she’s a stray. Miller then took her to the vet to see if she had any microchip but she didn’t.

Best Friends

Meanwhile, Crosby loved having her around. He was becoming more and more like the joyful, goofy pup Miller knew him to be. But still, Miller never really wanted a cat, so he decided to take her to the shelter.

However, just as he was about to leave, he saw Crosby standing to see them out, head and tail hanging low. It broke his heart, but he was determined. Little did he know, the universe was working in Crosby’s favor.

Fate

The shelter had no space. With no choice but to keep her, Miller arrived home with a new member to their family and a very excited Crosby.

It was a win, win! Crosby was no longer lonely, and the kitten now had a loving home. And Miller, well, Miller learnt to pay more attention to what his dog tries to tell him in the future!
