One night at a hotel, Charlie saved his life. “Good evening, sir,” said the receptionist when John arrived at the hotel. Then he saw Charlie. “Sir, you’re welcome to stay, but we don’t allow pets here. Sorry!” he explained. “Charlie isn’t a pet,” said John. “He’s my eyes. I’m blind, and it’s hard for me to get around by myself. I need him to show me where to go.” The receptionist apologized and led John and Charlie to their room. It was late. John was very tired after a long day. He went to bed and soon fell asleep. Charlie was sleeping beside the bed. Suddenly, Charlie started barking. John woke up and smelt smoke. A fire! Smoke started to come in from under the door. John knew they couldn’t get out that way now. Their room was on the 8th floor, so they couldn’t climb out of the window. They had to do something to stop the smoke. With Charlie’s help, John put some wet clothes along the bottom of the door. Then he got down on the floor next to Charlie and waited. The minutes seemed like hours. Then he heard it—the sound of a fire engine. It was music to his ears. Before long, a fireman arrived and got in the room from the window. When he found John, he quickly helped him get up and tried to get him out of the building. But John would not go without his “eyes”.
