Her Dog Bit Your Son

What happened next

There was a reminder card from the vet on Mia's fridge, stuck there with a magnet shaped like a taco. She let you lie to a nurse about your own son's arm while she knew. You were angry for a full week. You still are, a little. But when the officer asked about her, you thought about Rocco's head in Mia's lap the night her dad died, and you told the truth about that instead. Now Mia has a reminder in her phone for every vet visit, and she sends you a screenshot each time without being asked. After a bite, officials often ask that a healthy dog be confined and observed for ten days. Rocco did his at home, on the couch, extremely bored and extremely spoiled.
