Crumble down malice
Lucky, who had muscles beyond his standards, stared at him, and the man slumped to the ground, completely demoralized. Please, please, let this dog be quiet,” the man pleaded with Sara, his face contrite. The man looked miserable as he pleaded with Sara, “Please, put this dog down. You did all this, didn’t you? The man nodded repeatedly with a tearful look on his face. He admitted that everything he had done so far, the flat tire on his bicycle and the incident at the chicken coop, was all his own doing, to blame Lucky. It was the moment when the case that had finally plagued Sarah and her dog was solved.
Apology at Dawn
By the time the residents heard the commotion and gathered around, the sky had begun to turn white. The man was convinced, and he confessed all his sins and apologized in front of the crowd of residents. The tool in his hand was the best proof of his guilt, and Lucky was finally cleared of all false accusations. The residents apologized profusely to Sara, and she no longer had any reason to move. But can Lucky really now be accepted by the town and return to his peaceful life?
Inextinguishable Fear
Although the misunderstanding was cleared up, Sarah’s mind was not at all clear. The residents were still very suspicious and fearful of Lucky’s huge body of more than 30 kilograms of strange muscles. People are afraid of the unknown. Even though Lucky was cleared of all charges in a series of incidents, it was fear that led to his being framed in the first place. Even though Lucky did not bite the real culprit, the underlying prejudice against his dangerous appearance had not disappeared at all. The situation had simply reverted back to before the incident.
Conversion and Proposal
A few days later, Maria, who hated Lucky the most, came to Sarah’s house. She came to apologize once again and suggested that we all go to the hospital for a checkup to reassure us. This was to scientifically prove that Lucky was harmless. Despite the fear of being diagnosed as a dangerous and ferocious animal, Sarah believes in her dog, who did not hurt the real culprit, and finally decides to undergo a thorough examination. The door to the truth was about to be opened.
Finally, to the hospital.
Sarah and Maria took Lucky to that hospital for the first time in two years. It was the same hospital where they had rushed Lucky the day they picked him up. The veterinarian who saw them again after a long time was astonished. It was no surprise that the dog he had thought to be a whippet had turned out to be over 30 kilograms and had muscles that bulged to an unbelievable degree. Even the experienced doctors were speechless. In order to find out the cause of the problem, a full range of tests, including DNA analysis, were conducted. What kind of results were awaiting us?
A week too long
For a week until the test results came back, Sarah prayed and prayed. If they told her that she was a lab animal with a dangerous gene, she would really be separated from Lucky this time. Please don’t take him away from me. She stroked Lucky’s big back through many anxious nights. Then the fateful phone call rang and once again Sarah and Anna visited the hospital. How would Lucky’s diagnosis change Sarah and her family’s fate?
Mystery Revealed
In the examination room, the veterinarian told us the results of the tests. It was neither the blood of a dangerous beast nor an infection with a terrible disease. The veterinarian was excited as he presented the test data to Sarah and Maria. To the horror of everyone in the town where Sarah and Maria lived, Lucky’s abnormal muscles were a rare medical phenomenon. The secret is finally revealed.
double muscle
According to the veterinarian’s description, Lucky’s breed was definitely Whippet. However, he had a peculiar condition called myostatin deficiency, or double muscle, in which the gene that inhibits muscle development does not function. Although he had twice the muscle mass of a normal Whippet, which gave him a frightening appearance, his health was fine, and his personality proved to be just as mild-mannered as it should have been. Lucky was not the monster he was suspected to be, but a gentle dog who just had a tendency to build up muscle.
A Wall of Prejudice Broken
Science proved this truth, and Maria, who was accompanying me, took the initiative to spread it throughout the city. She worked hard to explain that those muscles were neither diseased nor ferocious, but were simply unique. With the scientific proof, the residents’ fear of the unknown monster was completely shattered. As the wall of prejudice disappeared, people began to realize Lucky’s true kindness and his brave actions in catching the real culprit for his owner, and began to show their sincere appreciation and affection.
idol of the town
A month after everything was resolved. Sarah and Lucky were strolling through a peaceful town in Texas. Neighborhood children ran up to them with smiles on their faces and happily stroked their raised muscles. Not a single resident now fears Lucky. The deformed dog, once abhorred as a monster, has been understood and accepted by all for his gentle and true nature. Today, Lucky is still the idol of the town, walking proudly next to Sarah. Thus, at last, peaceful daily life has returned to the town where she lives.
