Southend-On-Sea
One fateful day, Natalie was out with Rudy for a walk on the Southend-On-Sea pier. The air was salty, and the wind brisk. Whatever riled up Rudy that day, the result was a familiar tantrum.
Aside from the screaming and fussing, Rudy lay down on the ground and refused to get up. The commotion was already drawing stares from other people on the pier. Natalie knew if she couldn’t calm him, it could be hours before he’d be ok again.
