I watched in pure horror as a huge German Shepherd immobilized a screaming child in the park grass… but the terrifying truth hidden among the reeds changed absolutely everything.
For years I thought that emergency situations had clear signs.
One person injured.
An accident.
A visible danger.
But that day I learned that some of the biggest threats are precisely those that no one can see at first.
I was a paramedic and was enjoying a quiet afternoon when everything changed in a matter of seconds.
The park seemed normal.
The lake was still.
