New Pet Pitbull Heals Little Girl’s Fear of Being Alone

The Pritchett family was a trio of husband and wife- Dex, Lindsey, and their daughter Mikaela. Now this story is about their little girl who never had any trouble sleeping through the night on her own, but all that changed one day, and since then, they haven’t been able to leave Mikaela alone in a room, even during the day. However, after they got a dog, Mikaela’s fear of being alone and anxiety started subsiding. They were initially overjoyed to know that their daughter could rest easy. But if they had known the whole story, their opinions about getting a furry family member would have changed much sooner.

14 Everybody was happy and living normally

Dex and Lindsey Pritchett weren’t anything special. They raised their daughter Mikaela in Kansas. Dex taught at the university, and Lindsey ran a local bakery. The family was content living a quiet, peaceful existence. However, things started changing when Mikaela turned two.

12 What exactly went wrong

When their young daughter expressed worry about being alone in her room, it caused a lot of tension and stress in the family. Dex knew that waking up in the middle of the night alone was terrifying for a child, and Mikaela was experiencing it frequently. Dex and Lindsey were understanding of Mikaela’s fear because they knew it was common for children to be afraid of the dark. As time passed, Mikaela cried whenever she was alone, even in the middle of the day.

11 Gradually Mikaela’s situation became worse

The couple didn’t understand why Mikaela’s anxiety about being alone only worsened. She would start crying if they left her alone for more than a second. They realized she required medical attention and decided to take her to a professional pediatrician. But despite their attempt to get her medical aid that day, they wouldn’t make it to the pediatric center at the hospital.
