I step into the dark house and smile as Bear, my pup who looks more like a giant teddy bear than a dog, greets me at the door with her distinctive butt wiggle and duster tail wag. Smiling, I automatically reach down to stroke her fluffy head but my hand halts in midair as I watch her front legs bend in a way a dog’s legs cannot and slowly wrap themselves around my knees, tightening until the distinctive snap of bones breaking is drowned out by a scream.
