This is my first puzzle after many years. I have no idea how this may come out. So please don't hit me too hard if I do something wrong. I promise to learn quickly... Only after he had almost ruined her life, he realized that... |

... she was already dead? ... she existed only in his head? ... it was his own mother / daughter etc? ... he loved her? Is this a FOYI (fign=ment of your imagination)? Is it taken from real life? Is the time period relevant? He and her both human? |

Is one of them human? Is at least one a dog? Did it take place over 10 years ago? |

You said this had happened in real life? Is it well-established that the animal was female? Does it have to be for the puzzle to work? |

Just to cover the basics... Do both "he"s in the puzzle statement refer to the same man? |

You said this had happened in real life? yes Is it well-established that the animal was female? not really, it could have been a male as well Does it have to be for the puzzle to work? no, it would work perfectly if it was a male |

oh. BLOOOPERRR! sorry! Is it well-established that the animal was female? not really, it could have been a male as well no, it IS well-established she was a "she"; however, as I said, it could perfectly work for a "he" as well |

by 'almost ruined her life' do you mean - hurt her physically? - mentally, as in took away her baby/mother etc.? - both e.g. made her live in unnatual habitats? And to make sure - by 'he' do you mean a particular person? or a group, like humankind? |

Is this a well-known event? Would it help to get the place, time, names? |

Was the animal a horse? When I said "over 10 years ago" I meant longer than 10 years ago - did it take place more than 10 yeras ago? |

Did he realise that he was looking after or feeding the animal incorrectly. |
