Scary story time!
Sam's parents had gone to Mexico on vacation and his grandma was watching him for the weekend. Meanwhile, his parents were walking in a park somewhere,and they stopped and sat on a bench after a few hours of enjoying the weather,watching kids fly kites,and feeding some ducks.Not long after they had started eating,a pack of feral dogs came running up and yipping playfully.The couple thought this was cute,and fed them some scraps of their lunch.When they got up and started walking to the store to get Sam a nice Mexican Sombrero,one of the dogs had broke free from the pack and started following them.This dog was different than the others;it was hairless and small and it had a long,skinny tail.Sam's parents,having immediately forgotten the hat,picked it up and decided that this dog would make an even better present,and besides,it was free!So on Monday afternoon they smuggled the dog onto the plane and once they had gotten back to their house,the dog jumped out of Sam's mother's purse and scurried across the living room floor to hide under the couch.It's loud,rapid breathing did not bother his parents at all,so instead of getting the animal out of their house because there was OBVIOUSLY something wrong with it,they called Sam down from his room.He scampered down the stairs and gave each of his parents a hug before he noticed his gift hiding under the couch.When he did,he was afraid rather than overjoyed,and asked his mom what it was.His dad cut her off and replied "Why,son,this is your new pet!*chuckles*He's one of those rare Mexican Hairless Dogs!" and Sam was immediately satisfied with that explaination.He ran over to the couch,pulled it out,and gave it a big hug.That night,it slept at the foot of his bed(more because he had locked it in his room than that he actually liked the boy),but in the morning when Sam woke up,it wasn't there.He sat on the edge of his bed,thinking about where it could possibly have gone,when he felt something nibbling at his toe.He looked down,and there,on the carpet,was the little dog.Sam was immediately distressed and ran through the house shouting; "MOM!MOOOOM!MY DOGGIE IS SICK!HE BIT ME!".He entered the kitchen where his mother was preparing breakfast and held up the dog.By now it's mouth was foaming and there was a tiny bit of blood on it's teeth.His mother,oblivious to the apparent signs that something was indeed SEROUSLY wrong with the thing Sam held in his outstretched hands,she assured him that it was all right and that she would take it to the vet.It was a long car ride,and Sam gradually got quieter,but his mom paid no attention.Once at the vet,they rushed the creature in and the veterinarian examined it right away.She told Sam and his mother this:"First of all,this is not a dog.This is a sewer rat.I sure hope he didn't bite you, because he has rabies!"But before Sam's mother could speak,Sam gave her an answer.He started convulsing and foaming at the mouth,his cries of desperation almost drowning out the weeping of his mother and the horrified screaming of the vet.
That one was more...gross than scary.
