Family Discovers Stray Dog Inside Their Home Before They Realize The Grim Reality

Jack Jokinen never thought he had anything to fear in his own home, but all that changed after a stray dog appeared out of thin air right in the middle of his living room. At first, it all seemed like something out of a dream — that is, until Jack and his family discovered the truth about their unexpected guest.

Bump in the night

No one would be thrilled to be jarred awake in the middle of the night, but as Jack's wife roused him from sleep with a look of concern in her eyes, his mind immediately turned to one thing: their one-month-old daughter. Was she hurt? Had she gotten sick in the night?

Startling discovery

Fortunately, the baby was fine, though that only conjured up another fear of Jack's: an intruder. But before he could even process this thought, his wife shared her discovery — and it was one that just didn't make sense.

Must be mistaken

She said: "There's a puppy in our house." A puppy? Jack thought he must've heard her wrong. The Jokinens did already have a dog, a two-year old pup named George — maybe she had groggily mistaken him for another dog? It was, after all, around 4 AM.

A puppy appears

But as Jack descended the stairs and entered his living room, he couldn't believe his eyes — it was a puppy alright. The frightened yellow Lab mix cowered in the corner as Jack and his family inched toward her, though it was clear by the look of the dog that she was more than just afraid.
