HERO
Hero is our dog,the best dog in the worldwe think.
Here is a picture of him.
See how large he is!
What a fine head he has!
His name was Jack when he was a little fellow.Uncle Jack gave him to us when he went away
"Here,children!" he said,"here is a playfellowfor you.I must go away to sea.I cannot playwith you nor take care of you again for a longtime.
"But this fellow,this Jack,will take my place.He will play all the time,if you like.And he willhelp to take care of you,too."
So he did.When we were out at play; Jackwas with us.If we went to the woods forflowers,Jack went too.
If we were sent to get the milk,Jack ranalong.If we went to school,Jack went too,andlay down by the door until recess.
Everybody liked Jack,but Jack liked us bestofall.
If any boy wanted to tease Jack,he playedthat he meant to hurt us.
Then Jack would stay close beside us,andgrowl at him until he became afraid and stoppedhis fun.
"Good Jack! good old fellow!" we would say;patting him upon the head."We are safe whenyou are with us."
But I must tell you how we came to call himHero.
Baby May was playing in the yard.We weretaking care of her,Helen and I.After a whilewe began to play tag.
Of course May could not run fast,but shetried to play; because she liked to do what wedid.
She toddled after us,but we ran so fast thatwe were out of her sight before we knew it.
We did not know what happened untilafterwards.
Baby toddled out into the road,and tried tofollow us.She did not see the runaway horsesthat came rushing down the road toward her.
She only saw Helen and me running awayfrom her.
On ran the horses! They were our own,andfather was holding the reins; but the horseswere mad with fear,and he could not guidethem.
Father saw Baby in the road.He shouted toher to run,but she only looked up,and stoodstill with fright in the middle of the road.
The tramping feet were close upon our baby;but help was nearer yet.
