In Seymour, Indiana, the Howard family is a close-knit group comprising 24-year-old Hayden, her young son Noah, and their cherished English Mastiff, Jackson.
Jackson is more than just the family pet; he is an integral part of their lives, joyfully playing in the yard and soaking up the attention from his human companions.
In April 2017, an unexpected situation arose concerning Jackson that left Hayden and Noah quite puzzled. After a weekend jaunt through the garden, Hayden noticed something unusual—Jackson had strange marks on his body.
Although he seemed unfazed and went about his usual activities without any signs of discomfort, Hayden couldn’t ignore the peculiar markings.
These markings were not unprecedented for Jackson. Previously, similar marks had simply turned out to be harmless bug bites, generally disappearing on their own after the dog spent time outside.
This time, however, the situation was different. Instead of fading away, the marks worsened, raising concerns for Hayden. This growing unease led her to question whether they truly were mere bug bites or something more serious demanding attention.
