Sofia and her dog Gerda had been inseparable since she rescued the German Shepherd as a puppy. So on her wedding day, Gerda walked proudly beside her, wearing a little white bow.
But as the ceremony began, something strange happened — Gerda suddenly blocked Sofia’s path, barking, growling, and tugging at her dress. Guests watched in shock.
Sofia bent down to calm her, then noticed: Gerda’s paw was badly injured.
Confused, she asked if anyone had seen what happened. A guest quietly spoke up — they saw the groom kick Gerda.
Suddenly, it all made sense. The way Gerda had always avoided him. The tension. The unease.
Sofia stood tall, voice steady: “There will be no wedding.”
She picked up Gerda and walked out, white dress torn and dirtied — but her heart clear. Behind her, silence turned to applause.
She chose loyalty, love, and truth — over a lie in a tuxedo.
