Lulu is a brave pet in our shelter.

As you know, there are a lot of forest fires during the summer season. Many forests are badly 36 by fire each year. Not far from our shelter, a forest caught fire during this hot summer. We were in a heatwave which had been  37  for three days.

Lulu rushed towards the forest where flames sent out a terrible 38 . I no longer had any   hope that Lulu would come  39  to the shelter. In fact, I was waiting for the firemen to announce his 40  in the forest, when suddenly, a fireman burst into my shelter and   41 me that my dog Lulu had  42  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  43  place. I immediately accompanied the fireman to the forest to  44  the rescued kittens. When we arrived at the  45  of the incident, we found Lulu was not  46  . Then we heard the  47  of a dog came from the forest barking furiously. I  48  it was my dog Lulu. The fireman followed the tracks of the dog until we found him barking  49  by the side of an injured fireman who was lying on the ground and desperately   50  rescue. Thanks to Lulu, four kittens and a fireman were saved.

That day, I was very 51 of Lulu for his two heroic  52  toward the kittens and the fireman. Lulu showed much compassion（同情）for both animals  53  him and for a human being who was trying to  54  the fire with his colleagues.

This true story of genuine love and compassion shows us that pets are loving,  55  and compassionate. We should love and protect them. One day they could do us a good turn.
