Pensioner’s Mushroom Hunt Uncovers Terrifying Secret Bunker—What Was Hidden Below Will Haunt You

Even the most stoic began to feel that what was happening wasn’t just an expression of grief. Officer Jack, an old friend of Alex and former trainer of Rex, rose from his seat. He slowly approached the dog, carefully knelt down, and extended his hand.

«Easy, boy,» he whispered, placing his palm on the dog’s nape. But Rex didn’t even turn around. His body trembled with tension, his eyes continued to bore into the coffin.
