One January morning, Thomas Smith is walking his dog, Jack, in the park. Mr. Smith is sitting under a tree and Jack is running on the ice lake. Suddenly, the dog falls into the water and can’t get out.

“ I must save my dog,” says Mr. Smith. He doesn’t think much, and jumps into the cold water. It’s difficult for him to swim in the cold water, but he is just thinking about saving Jack.

Luckily, he helps Jack out of the water. And they are safe now. “ When we get out of the water, everybody asks how Jack is, and nobody is worried about me!” Mr. Smith says with a smile.

Julie Brown sees this thing, too. “ The dog gets onto the ice lake,” she says. “Suddenly, it starts to go under. Many people see it and they are shouting for help. But only Mr. Smith jumps into the cold water to save it.”

People think Mr. Smith is a hero. “ In fact, many people in the world are doing the same as me,” Mr. Smith says. “But from now on, I must let Jack be away from the ice lake.”

Animals are our great friends. Can you do the same for them like Mr. Smith?
