That afternoon when I returned home from spending the day with Michael, I was surprised not to find Prince waiting for me by the door, again.

I called everywhere for him, but he didn’t respond. “Prince? Here boy! Come Prince.” I shouted throughout the house and out the back door.

“Mom, where’s the dog?” I asked her, as she strolled into the family room with her hands on her hips.

“I’m not sure, I don’t think I’ve seen him since yesterday. Where could he be?” she said, looking around a bit worried.

“Prince! Come boy! . . .Prince!” I shouted for him to come out of hiding.

“Is he outside, Beth? Did you see him when you pulled up to the house?”

“No, Mom, he wasn’t outside. He’s been acting strange lately. Do you think something’s happened to him?” I started to panic.

“Impossible. He’s never left the property before,” she said, noticeably worried herself.

Frantically, I ran outside looking for my dog. I asked the neighbors and Mrs. Lynbrook, if they’d seen him or heard him barking. No one in our area had any inkling of where my dog might have gone. I called Freddie asking him to help me look for Prince. Within minutes, Freddie’s car screeched into my driveway. We looked in the shed and scoured the property, but there were no signs of him. As we brushed passed the towering trees that bordered the end of our property line, we entered into State Park property. Freddie and I tirelessly called out Prince’s name with no response.

“When was the last time you saw him?” Freddie asked.

“I’m not sure.” I tried to remember when I last saw my dog when it occurred to me that he barked at the sound of Sam’s car pulling up to the house the previous day. “Yesterday, I believe. . .yesterday morning, when you and Sam picked me up. He was freaking out when I left the house. I didn’t realize when I came home yesterday, that he was missing. Freddie? Do you think something bad’s happened to him?”

“Nah! Maybe he went for a walk and got lost in the woods.”

“It can’t be. He knows this area really well. He’s gone for walks before, but he’s never gotten lost or stayed away this long.”

“We’ll find him, Bethy. He’s gotta be around here somewhere.”
