Annie couldn\u2019t stop thinking about him.<\/p>\n
Every single day, Benny had been bringing food to the drain\u2014not for himself, but for these helpless creatures trapped below. He must have heard them mewling after the heavy rains swept them into the storm system, and somehow, instinctively, took it upon himself to keep them alive.<\/p>\n
Annie felt tears rise in her eyes.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2026 he\u2019s been saving them,\u201d she whispered.<\/p>\n
The firefighter smiled, gently placing the kittens into a blanket-lined box. \u201cIf it weren\u2019t for this dog, they\u2019d never have made it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Benny sat beside the box, proud and calm, as if he knew his mission was finally complete.<\/p>\n
The story made headlines the next morning.<\/p>\n
\u201cLocal Dog Saves Kittens from Storm Drain\u201d<\/strong> read the banner in the Meadowbrook Herald. A photo of Benny sitting protectively next to the box of kittens was splashed across the front page.<\/p>\n Annie couldn\u2019t stop thinking about him.<\/p>\n
