I gave him a few spoonfuls.
Twenty minutes later, I heard a strange noise.
Bobby was lying on the kitchen floor.
I rushed toward him.
He wasn’t moving.
I immediately called the veterinarian, but by the time we reached the clinic, it was too late.
Bobby was dead.
The veterinarian asked what he had eaten.
When I explained, his expression changed.
“Do you still have any of that food?”
I nodded.
“Don’t throw anything away. Bring all of it here.”
The following morning, I took the leftover breakfast and one of the glass jars to a laboratory.
Two days later, I received a phone call.
“Mrs. Mary?”
“Yes?”
“Please come to the laboratory immediately. And if possible, don’t come alone.”
My heart began pounding.
“What did you find?”
There was a long silence on the other end of the line.
“We can’t discuss it over the phone.”
