Jacky The Dog is Hero

Story by- Akshit Arora

I walked the dog after dinner last night and when it was time to return home, I decided to take a shortcut through the woods. On the edge of the wood stands a deserted house. When I walked Past the house I heard a strange noise. Suddenly I noticed in the moon light a small shadow in the bushes on my right side. I went there I was scared because it was dark . Somehow, I manage to find out and saw a puppy whimpered in pain. Puppy has got a  nail stuck in it's paw. I felt miserable and took it into my arms and decided to take it home. After I reached home I treated it well and kept with me like my own pet and lovingly called it Jacky. I took it to walk everyday with my old pet Tommy. Soon Jacky became my good friend like Tommy. I was started enjoying with my both the dogs. 

One night, as usual I was sleeping and Tommy was guarding the back  gate And Jacky was on the entrance . On that night a thief tried to broke in . He was trying to jump over the fence but Jacky barked at him very loudly. So we all got up and rushed outside to see, what is happening and before we could do anything Jacky pounced upon the man and he bit the thief's leg . My father immediately called the police and they told us that  the thief we have caught is most wanted and there was a reward of Rs.50,000  also. We were surprised and I ran and hugged Jacky and Tommy tightly. Jacky became hero in our neighbor.

After this incidence we all started liking Jacky more and more and I built a new dog House . He was happy with its new home  and we all were happy.  Firstly, my parents were saying that we will not allow one more dog to live in the house but now they said that you can keep Jacky and Tommy both,as they are deeply faithful.
