8 Strong Bond
 |

When it comes to the dog-human connection, the word “love” is tossed around a lot. What we don’t talk about a lot is the “bond” between humans and dogs. It is never broken once a bond is formed. Usually, police dogs work on rescue missions with various other officers. Like any other officer except John, Kyle appears uncooperative. Their relationship ran too deep that splitting them up would not be wise. They’re great partners, so they continued to be.

Police dogs often live with a family that is not linked directly to the police force. This is done to allow the dog to feel loved and belong to a family like other normal dogs. Kyle was placed in a random family; for him, a lovely couple was chosen. This was strange to him at first. The way he was trained was not to receive warmth, hugs, and kisses. He could not help leaning into the warmth, however, and feel loved.

10 Upcoming Baby
The couple gave Kyle all their love and cared for him to the best of their ability.

12 Adopted By John
It took John no more than a second to sign up for Kyle’s adoption and let him live in his flat. John took Kyle home after work that same evening. His apartment was self-contained, like a single man who is married to his job and lives alone. Compared with Kyle’s former home, it was much smaller; John created enough room to fit Kyle and himself. They began living as roommates, doing it all together. That way, they both retire after work every day and get enough rest.

21 He Was Adopted
Kyle was put up for adoption, and because he’s a very lovable dog, a lovely couple whose children were almost ready to move out soon adopted him. At first sight, Kyle’s new owners, the Smiths, fell in love with him and spoiled him as much as they could. The only problem was that the house wasn’t the most spacious.

25 Multiple Long Walks
What would you dislike about walking? It’s free. It’s easy to do, and on the joints, it’s easy. And there is no question that it’s right for you to walk. Thomas and Jane began to go on long walks several times a day, and Kyle seemed to like every second of it. He gets his leg and abdominal muscles to tone up.

26 Having New Friends
It was hard for Kyle to make new friends because he didn’t have so many social abilities. He tried his best to mingle and soon discovered that playing with the other dogs was fun.

27 His Favorite Exercise
Kyle loves to run with his owners; sometimes, his joy of running is infectious. The guilt of depriving his dog of a favorite activity is usually enough to spur him on, even when Thomas may not feel motivated to exercise. Kyle enjoyed all the extra activities he had and enjoyed exploring various paths and trees in the area. He had the energy of a young pup, and Thomas often could barely keep up. Jane could hardly stand a chance so that she would stay home for the most part.

28 He Was Less Motivated
Kyle would always enjoy his waking hours; it was a fun spin for him around the beautiful landscape. It was quite odd that Kyle seemed to lose his excitement after a couple of weeks. It decreased most of his early energy, and he was less motivated to go on his usual walks. He passively walked alongside Thomas now, who could hardly catch up with him before. The most bizarre thing is that he no longer wanted to explore.

29 They Were Worried
Thomas tried to wave Kyle’s unusual dullness, but he kept getting worse, as his food was barely touched now. Thomas became unbearably anxious about his friend. Only because he thought it was the best for Kyle was his decision to move to the countryside. The smiths thought Kyle would be much happier than he was away from the life he lived in the city, but now it seems that’s not the case. Perhaps Kyle had something to do with getting sick?

30 Going To The Vet
Thomas decided to take Kyle to the vet to get him checked out. He took a detailed physical exam, along with follow-up tests, to identify any issues. After the results, the vet concluded that Kyle was perfectly healthy and should still be in the best shape. The veterinarian also appears to be puzzled when Thomas narrated Kyle’s odd behaviors and the perceived energy loss.

31 Odd Things
Something unusual happened when Kyle and Thomas took one of their regular walks near the edge of the forest. Kyle suddenly switched to his police dog mode and became fierce. But not Thomas, as he was bothered by something else. Kyle suddenly stopped walking, his ears alert, his nose on the ground, and he began furiously sniffing the ground. He had returned to his vigilante job, and it didn’t look like he was going to be interrupted soon.

32 Sniffing Habit
Whenever he went on walks, Kyle made sniffing around a habit. He usually stopped for something to sniff. He often found little beasts, old toys, clothes, you name it. Almost anything that was out of the ordinary could not stay hidden from Kyle for long. He was alert and healthy. Kyle was relentless and went out to sniff things in the deepest part of the forest.

34 Luring Kyle
He was getting a little impatient and tired of the treadmill. Thomas tried to get Kyle to follow him again and, with his favorite treats, even tried to lure him. He shouted commands at him, and when it didn’t work, he stuffed his furs and whispered sweetly in his ears. However, as nothing seemed to work, Kyle was taught determination and discipline. He stopped sniffing at some point and sat down next to a mysterious-looking tree.

While Thomas was puzzled, he was also curious to determine what this trained dog could be troubled by.

36 Calling John
There was no other option left for Thomas; he did not know what to do next. He decided to call an old partner of Kyle’s, John.

40 A Surprising Discovery
Thomas looked around if he could get help, but who was he kidding? They were deep in the woods, with no chance that anyone would pass by. He summoned courage and pushed in the broken part of the tree; he did not miss how Kyle began to growl a little and take a defensive stand. He noticed when Thomas pushed further, there was a lot of room inside the tree. He squealed and jumped back and nearly tripped over Kyle when he discovered what had been buried in the tree.

Hidden in the tree is a skeleton! He didn’t get a complete picture of it, but he was sure of what he saw. Skeletons can’t be mistaken, can they? Fearing that a crime scene or something would mess with him, he made sure not to touch the tree again.

Could it be a deliberate false alarm, or why would Kyle react to a fake skeleton so much?

This was a plan to get him down here intentionally. He bent down and stroked his fur, looking straight into Kyle’s eyes, and his suspicion was confirmed.

50 John’s Promise
This was a secret message for John; he missed his partner so much that he had to come up with such a brilliant idea. Since moving to the countryside, Kyle has not seen him, and he probably recalls the good days they worked together. His dog’s undoubted love still moved John for him. He took him quickly to spend time alone on a walk around the woods and could see the pure joy radiating from Kyle. John made a promise to himself before leaving to visit Kyle as often as possible.
