Dear Editor, THIS letter is in honor of Lucky, my six-month-old
mongrel, who saved my life and home.
Recently, Lucky, who usually remains indoors after his meal,
started barking endlessly.
I kept telling him to be quiet from the living room (his room is
at the back in the kitchen), but he refused to stop barking.
Cleo, my other dog, was in the garden at that time.
After 20 minutes, I could not take it anymore, and walked up to
Lucky, but as soon as I entered the kitchen, I realized that my
mother had accidentally left the stove on and the frying pan was
burning.
|
I quickly
turned off the fire and opened the windows to let the smoke out.
Lucky stopped barking as soon as the smoke cleared.
If not for
Lucky, my house could have caught fire and I could have died.
I would not have known that there was something burning in the
kitchen till it was too late because my house is large and well
ventilated.
Who would have thought that the little mongrel that I had
rescued four months ago would be the one to alert me to danger?
And he’s only a puppy! Many people have said that Lucky is
fortunate to have an owner like me who has given him a safe
environment with lots of love and affection.
|
But today, I
would like to tell everyone that I am the lucky one because I
could have died if not for this adorable puppy.
This incident has proven that mongrels are as intelligent as
purebred dogs and further reinforces my belief that dogs should
be allowed indoors.
Because Lucky was in the house, he
could alert me to the burning frying pan.
If he had been outdoors, he would not have realized there was a
fire till it was too late.
So folks, bring your dogs indoors.
They could end up saving your lives.
And thank you Lucky for being my savior.
