It started as a pleasant dog walk in familiar surroundings. The bond between man and dog had grown strong, and the well-worn paths, under calm and serene conditions, felt as welcoming as ever. What could possibly go wrong? The forecast promised a fair, sunny day, with only the occasional isolated shower on the horizon. Surely, the relentless winter and early spring storms had finally blown themselves out. Surely, summer would at last show its face, offering a much-needed respite from what had felt like an endless season of harsh weather. But just as our innocent dog walker, Alan, and his faithful pooch began to enjoy a day full of promise, things took a sudden and drastic turn. What started as a few dark clouds quickly escalated into a violent storm, forcing them to rush home in search of safety and the warmth of their loving family. But luck was not on their side. Disaster struck, and for a single terrifying moment, all hope seemed lost especially as every method of communication became completely impossible.
