Chris Cooper - Rascal - Swept Beneath The Waters

At first he saw nothing in the murky water. But then a tiny head broke above the surface. It was the little puppy and it was terrified. It let out a panicked yelp and then disappeared back under again.

A torrent of fear swept through Rascal. Just the sight of the struggling puppy brought back terrible memories. It was in the black waters of an underground river that Rascal had been separated from his master, Joel. The dog had been lucky to survive. Even now, months later, he could still remember the icy currents that had battled to drag him below the surface. He would never forget the dreadful helpless feeling as that jet-black water had poured into his mouth and nose.

Rascal looked around in alarm. If only there was someone he could alert, a person who would know what to do, a human who could help . . . Perhaps the man he had seen in the alleyway? But a line of trees blocked Rascal’s view that way, and there was no time to go back to see if the man was still around.

He would have given anything not to have to do this, but there was no alternative. The puppy was going to drown unless . . .

Rascal took a deep breath and jumped in.
