To the time I felt like a hero. It was just a regular, warm summer night. I was in my neighbor’s backyard and talking to their daughters. They were both younger than me by about 4 years. They were still little kids, toddlers even. The dog who lives across the street came over to their backyard. The girls got so excited and ran towards the dog, wanting to pet it. I didn’t think of anything bad happening since this dog was relatively sweet and kind. As the dog laid down and felt their hands touching it all over, suddenly the dog started to attack one of the girls. It was pure terror. I froze for a second out of shock as I watched her get dragged against the concrete. I thought to myself, what am I still doing just standing here? I have to help her and so I did. I tried my absolute hardest to get the dog’s mouth off of her tiny fragile head.
