The Big Save

I have always been a dog lover. I have 3 dogs at my house – Bruno, Ruby and Jiffy. They are a part of my family. Today, I am going to tell you one of my experiences.

This happened on Tuesday, a fine sunny day. I had worked a lot at the office so decided to take a break and go to the coffee shop. I reached the coffee shop. But, there I saw that people around were running !

I rushed to the place where they were running from. I came to the main lobby and saw a tiger roaring and scaring people. I remembered that I had seen an article in the article saying that a tiger had ran away from the zoo. I pushed my way past the people running towards the exit, close to the tiger. The tiger prowled and put it’s claws on my chest and I fell on the ground with the tiger over me.

We stared in each other’s eyes for a few moments. I felt scared. Then, not knowing what I was doing, I began to sing the song which I sang for my dogs (while putting them to sleep)

not leaving the eye contact.

When I finished my song, the tiger came close to me and he……

………..licked me (on my face). I patted him and stood straight. Looking at my right, I saw that my colleague was standing right over them. I signalled him to call the zoo people.

When they came, I patted my buddy, the tiger and said ‘goodbye’ to him. I believe that every animal is friendly, once it feels safe with you……………………
