I do not have clear remembrances of my childhood and I must rely on the stories of my parents. They and my grandparents remember it very well. I was born in 1984 and I was the second child of my parents. My sister was born 2 years before me. My parents were working so I was spending much time with my grandparents, especially my grandfather. We lived in the country and there was a forest near our house. We often were going for a walk there. I remember that once we went there without my sister, she was ill. I was 4 at that time. We were walking when suddenly my grandfather disappeared. I was alone and very frightened. My fear increased when I heard strange sounds which were coming from behind me. I thought that it was a wolf - my mother was often reading stories about big bad wolves to us. I started running but I heard shouting - it was my grandfather. He found a young dog - probably somebody threw him away. He was making those strange sounds. My grandfather took him to our home and we treated him. Later the dog stayed with us.
