When Claire arrived the next morning, she smiled as if nothing had happened.
But Rose was waiting at the door, holding a printed screenshot of the livestream.
We contacted the agency, reported her account, and sent the footage as evidence. I still don’t know if there will be legal consequences, but I do know this — Beau proved himself that night.
He wasn’t a “problem dog.” He was our daughter’s protector.
Our Hero with a Wagging Tail
Today, Beau still sleeps beside Zoey’s crib every night. Only now, we don’t make him leave.
We had a small silver tag made for his collar that reads: “Zoey’s Guardian.”
Sometimes, when Zoey giggles at him or tugs his ears, I think about how close we came to losing him — how easily we almost gave away the very soul who saved our family.
I still check that footage sometimes, not because I need proof, but because it reminds me of something simple and profound:
Sometimes the ones who can’t speak are the ones who see the most.
