Answer:
My Dog Saved My Life
Dog and man have been friends for ages. Over the years dogs have secured a very important place in man’s life. There have been many tales of the faithfulness, loyalty, and the bravery of dogs in which they proved quite helpful to man. I came to know about dogs’ qualities through a personal experience.
I had a beautiful dog, Chiku. He was a bundle of affection. He would always hang around me wherever I went. I had reared him with care since he was a puppy of just a few days old. He was the gentlest of all the dogs I had ever known. Even to strangers he would be so polite and loving!
Once, my family had to go out of station to attend a function in Delhi. Since my exams were going on, I had to stay at home. Chiku and I were alone at home. After dinner I went to bed and soon fell asleep. In the middle of night I was woken by shouts and screams and an intense heat that I was feeling. As I opened my eyes I was horror-struck! Our house was on fire!
After the neghbours had helped me get out of the flames, they told me I must thank Chiku for saving my life. Chiku had run to the neighbor’s house and barked continuously until they came out to see why the dog was barking incessantly. As they had come out, they saw the flames engulfing the house. then they roused the other neighbours too. They poured water on the flames and managed to wake me up with shouts.
I hugged my dog and thanked my neighbours for saving my life too. My story was covered in media. Chiku became famous too. He was also awarded Canine Bravery Award by the Animal Welfare Society of the city.
