The Lomax family needed a dog.Though their house was already full with seven people,they knew a dog would truly make the house a home.So they settled on a dog whom they named Jack.It turned out to be the best decision they ever made.
It was Jack's protective instinct(本能)that would save the lives of the Lomax family.If it wasn't for him,the family may never have survived the terrible accident that would eventually befall one cold January day in 2020.
It was a night like many others.Autumn,the family's youngest child and her mother Ashley had settled into bed in one of the bedrooms on the second floor.Jack,who rarely left Autumn's side,had settled in there as well.Little did they know that something terrible was about to happen that night.While the family was fast asleep,a fire had started in one of the other second floor bedrooms.Jack had picked up a whiff(些微的氣味) of smoke in the next room.In an instant,the brave dog jumped into action.
The four-legged family member knew something was wrong but had no way of telling his owners.He jumped up Ashley's bed and began touching her face.She pushed him off her bed and tried to roll over but he began again,until she was up.
As soon as she could,Ashley took hold of Autumn and began to move away from the door.She screamed at the top of her lungs as she ran from the room,alerting the rest of the family to the disaster that was taking place.Jack did his part again too,barking loudly.Ashley's screams woke the four other adults and two more children.All of them headed out into the cold January night.In no time,the fire had engulfed (吞沒) nearly the entire home,but luckily,all of them had made it out alive,with Jack leading the way.
