Chapter 1
A/N: This is my first attempt at a Homeward Bound Story. I don't own any of the characters; they belong to the Disney Company.
Shadow walked slowly down the stairs and collapsed by his owner Peter, who was sitting on the couch. Peter looked down at Shadow and said. "Are you ok, boy?"
Shadow lifted his head slowly and rubbed his nose on Peter's hand before putting his head back down.
Peter jumped up from the couch and ran into the kitchen where he found his parents "Mom, Dad, there's something wrong with Shadow!"
Bob stood up and walked over to his son and said. "What exactly is he doing?"
Peter had tears starting to firm in his eyes as he said. "He came over to me while I was sitting on the couch and when I asked him if he was ok all he did was lifted his head and rubbed his nose against my head and then he laid his head back down. The only time he does that is when I'm hurt or sick. I'm afraid he did that this time to say goodbye."
Sassy and Chance heard this and they both went to where Shadow was laying and sat down by their friend. When Shadow saw that they were there he looked at them and said. "I'm getting close to the end of my life."
Right after he said that Peter and his Dad came in, picked up Shadow and carried him to the car and took him to the vet.
Chance and Sassy looked at each other. Chance said. "Do you think that Shadow is going to die soon?"
Sassy didn't say anything because she knew that Shadow was going to die soon.
