At the hospital, it was all Lily and Sadie could do to hold down the big shepherd while the emergency-room attendants wheeled Matt into the hospital. “There’s nothing Sadie and I can do now, Dennis,” Lily said. “You do what Matt wants you to do. We’ll take the dogs home, shower and change, and come back. Then it will be your turn. Is that okay with you?”

“Yeah,” Dennis called over his shoulder as he ran behind the gurney.

Lily held it together until she got into the truck. Sobs ripped from her throat as she fell against Sadie. “What if he doesn’t make it, Sadie. My God, you saw him. I’m a far cry from a doctor, but I know he doesn’t just have pneumonia, he has double pneumonia. What if he doesn’t make it?”

“I don’t want to hear talk like that, Lily. He will make it. He’s led a strong, healthy life, and he’s a fighter. You heard him, he was thinking of the company by saying to sign him in as Dennis. He said he loves you, he loves Gracie. He’s not going to give that up, he’ll fight for it.”

“He saw his mother. That’s not good,” Lily wailed.

“Don’t give me that bullshit, Lily,” Sadie said.

“You’ve been seeing all kinds of weird things lately. That doesn’t mean you’re going to die. Not another word. Do you hear me? Now, blow your nose and let’s go home. I can’t wait to get out of these wet clothes. I want a cup of hot coffee, and I plan to mainline that bag of double Oreo cookies we bought the other day. I’m going to eat the whole bag. Every single one. You can have the Fig Newtons. I’m driving, you’re a wreck.”

“Okay, okay. I’ll sit in the back with the dogs. She found him. Isn’t it amazing, Sadie? Oh, wait till Matt sees that we found his sneakers. He’s going to be so happy. Did I ever tell you how much he loves those shoes?”

“Only five hundred times or so. Do you think it will be all right to leave Gracie in the apartment? Now that she found Matt, will she do something wild, like going through the window?”

“No. Gracie knows something’s wrong. For some reason, dogs always seem to know before people know. Animals really do understand, and, believe it or not, they know when a crisis is under way and react accordingly. She has Matt’s sneakers to keep her company and, of course, Buzz. Let’s go home, Sadie.”
