It was a peaceful Saturday morning in the neighborhood. Birds were chirping, sprinklers clicked on, and most families were enjoying their second cup of coffee. But that calm was shattered in an instant.
A piercing cry echoed from above. Neighbors looked up just in time to see a massive eagle swooping down into the Harrisons’ backyard. Before anyone could react, it snatched up the family’s small golden puppy, Max, and took off into the sky—its powerful wings beating heavily as it disappeared into the distance.
The neighborhood was in shock. The Harrisons were devastated. “He was just lying in the grass,” Mrs. Harrison sobbed. “One second he was there… the next, he was gone.” Search efforts began immediately, with neighbors combing the woods and cliffs, but as the hours passed, hope faded.
