When Maggie, her husband Kyle, and their son Ethan moved into a new house, they were hoping for a fresh start. Ethan had been through a rough time at school, and the move felt like a new beginning. The house once belonged to a man named Christopher, whose daughter had sold it after his passing. But soon, a mysterious husky began visiting their yard each day.
The dog—quiet, calm, and familiar—grew close to Ethan, who started feeding and playing with him. One day, Ethan discovered a name on the dog’s worn collar: Christopher Jr. Could it be the same Christopher who once lived there? The thought unsettled Maggie, but the bond between the dog and her son only deepened.
One morning, the husky acted strangely, urging them toward the woods. Ethan begged to follow, and Maggie, curious and cautious, agreed. After a long walk, the dog led them to a clearing where a pregnant fox was trapped and injured. They freed her and rushed her to the vet—CJ, the husky, never leaving her side.
The fox, later named Vixen, recovered in their garage and gave birth to four healthy kits. CJ stayed close to her and the babies, almost like a guardian. When the time came, they released the fox family back into the forest. Now, every weekend, Ethan, CJ, and Maggie return—welcomed by Vixen and her kits, a living bond between past and present.
