Tales of Heroic Pets:
Little Streams Make Big Rivers
Lulu has always been my closest and constant companion
these past five years. In fact, he is very obedient to me especially
when I take care of other furry friends in our shelter.
As you already know, there have been a lot of forest fires during
the summer season. Many forest are badly damaged by fire each year.
Not far from our shelter, a forest caught fire during this hot
summer. We are on July, a heatwave which has been going on for three
days.
Lulu rushed towards the forest where flames send out an infernal
heat. There's no longer any hope at the moment to wait for Lulu to
come back to the shelter. In fact, I was waiting for the firebrigade
to announce me his death in the forest. Suddenly,a fireman burst
into my office and informed me that my dog Lulu succeeded to save
four kittens who were trapped by the flames. According to the
fireman, Lulu seized the kittens, one by one moving them to a safe
place.
I immediately accompanied the fireman to the forest to pick up
the rescued kittens. Once on the scene of the incident, Lulu was
not there. Then we heard the sound of a dog came from the forest
barking furiously. I recognized the sound of my dog Lulu. The
firemen followed the tracks of the dog until they found him barking
loudly by the side of an injured fireman who was lying on the ground
and desperately waiting for rescue.
Thanks to Lulu,four kittens and a fireman were saved.
That day, I was very proud of Lulu for his two heroic actions
toward the kittens and the fireman. Lulu showed much compassion
for both animals like him and for a human being who was trying
to put out the fire with his colleagues.
Truth to tell, my happiness is great and immeasurable.
I paid a visit to the fireman in his house accompanied with
my adorable Lulu. What a memorable scene when the fireman hugged
Lulu tightly to his chest! One thousand thanks Lulu for saving
my life, the fireman said.
This true story of genuine love and compassion show us that
pets are loving, caring and compassionate. We should love and
protect them. One day they do us a good turn.
Little animals can make enormous things for humans. So don't
belittle them. God be with all humans and animals.
Our thanks to Prof Daham M'hamed, Algeria, who kindly contributed
Lulu's story.
