What the situation was?

Who was involved?

Why they didn’t tell you the whole truth?

And explain how you felt when you found out you were not told the whole truth.

My father once lied to me when I was 10 and said the dog ran away instead of he died.

His name is Blitz. Our dad brought him home in a 2X2 cardboard box. We looked at him, he looked up at us. He stuck out a tongue in that lopsided grin of his. It was mutual love at first sight. We'd play catch in the garden. Our dad would unfailingly take him out for a walk every day, and one of our favourite childhood past-times was picking the ticks from his fur and squishing them with a delightful pop. He was a member of our family, an ever-willing playmate, and our vigilant guardian.

I spent a month looking for him every day when he went missing. Riding my bicycle everywhere and actually putting myself in danger a few times. I couldn't understand why my parents weren't looking for him too. Why they weren't putting up posters, why we didn't go the police, kennels, anywhere. I felt terrible about my dog being out there, lost, alone, in danger. After a month of this my father finally came clean that Blitz actually died of a car accident. I hated my parents for lying. I hated them so much that the hate overwhelmed the sense of loss. I'm 28 years old. I still remember this like yesterday.

Now when I look back, I know something more about my dad that, the rock that he is, never let on about how much he had been affected by Blitz's death. Only now do I realize why none of Blitz's photos remain, and why he refuses to have another dog to this day. Also I think the death of pets is a way for children to come to an understanding of death. That's important. People they love are going to die over time. Pets dying first is a good way to prepare them for that.
