While driving down the road a new red truck passed him with a boy sitting beside the driver. Mr. Cassidy knew it was one of the coaches for the local baseball team. Thinking about his son with fond memories of his son, Joe and the way he always wanted to go with him in the truck. Gee, I had almost forgotten him. I wonder where he is living.

While driving up the tree-line-country road leading to the ballpark, his six-year-old son, Austin sat by his side, excitement filled Coach.

A whining noise from the nearby, tall grass startled Bill. Hoping his son had not it, but knew he was wrong when he went to check it, and Austin came running behind him.
During the search for the noise, Bill found a puppy playing in the grass. “I guess it is part of the pack and couldn’t keep up with the others,” he said handing it to his son. “Put it in the truck and lock it, I’ll see if I can find any more.”
“Oh no,” Bill said and notice a large, white dog lying a few feet from him in a pool of blood. Going over to it, he touched it with his foot, it was dead, another puppy played nearby.
