A 10-year-old boy rescued the dog, thinking it was just another dog, but was shocked when he discovered its true identity.

You can’t have a dog

James’ parents were at a loss as to what to do about the situation. If the dog was sick, it could make their son or them sick. Or, if the dog had a little rest and regained its strength, it could become aggressive and threatening. In any case, they could not keep the dog at home. On the other hand, they could not return it to the river. James felt helpless that there was nothing they could do about the dog.
