When we discovered why my dog had attacked and bitten one of the guests on the arm during the wedding, we were appalled.
Our wedding day was the happiest day of my life. I was getting married to the woman I truly loved. Everything had to be flawless because we had spent more than a year getting ready for this day. The ceremony was attended by about a hundred people, including friends, relatives, and coworkers. It was just happiness.
I gestured to the green-clad woman. I’ve never seen this woman before, my wife said in a whisper in my ear as she moved closer and gave her a quick glance. She is not a guest of ours.
There was panic. Who was she? She was there, but why? What caused Koko’s reaction? My dog appeared to be attempting to defend us by barking and trembling.
To find out what was happening, we had to break up the celebration. The woman was taken off the property after we phoned security. We discovered the horrifying truth about this woman’s true identity and the reason behind the dog’s behavior just a few days later.
The woman turned out to be my ex-girlfriend’s mother. Before I met my wife, we had dated. She went through a really trying period following our split; she lost her job, moved out of town, and was about to have a breakdown.
Her mother thought I had “ruined” her daughter’s life and blamed me for everything. Her purpose for attending the wedding was to ruin it. We don’t know exactly what she had in mind. However, Koko was the first to notice that anything was off.
If it weren’t for him… The possibilities are too great for me to even consider.
My dog is now my real guardian angel, and I no longer consider him to be only a pet.
