An excerpt from the book:
“Please say she’s fine….,†Tess whispered to herself as she waited for the voice message to begin.
Tess listened intently as the woman’s voice crackled and stuttered on the other end of the line.
Hi Tess and Tom, this is Caroline calling from Paws Awhile Kennel. I’m calling about Mabel. Unfortunately, there’s been a bit of a mishap here.
Tess felt the color drain from her face and her legs began to tingle and weaken underneath her. She fell into the chair beside the bed as the woman continued.
Mabel’s enclosure was accidentally left unlocked and she escaped. I’ve had crews out looking for her all evening but there’s no sign of her anywhere. I know you folks are in Jamaica, but if there is somewhere else you think we should look, please let me know. We feel just awful about this and we’re going to do everything we can to find Mabel and bring her back. Please call me when you get this message.
Tess’ hand shook as she dialed the number to the kennel. She prayed that they had found her, that someone had found Mabel and she was safe. But no one answered. All she heard was the cheerful recording on the Kennel’s answering machine wishing everyone a Merry Christmas.
