She allowed her savior to pull her to safety, this unnamed white hero who had streaked through the water without a second thought to bring a foolish pup back to shore. She could feel him panting through her coat, his breath warm and familier against her, just like Emer and Val had done when they had once picked her up and taken her to bed, or away from danger. This boy would continue to heave them both to shore, through the shallows and all until there was nothing but the lightest trace of water against there legs and here he would release her. She would touch down against the earth gently, and let out a burr as she shook water from her coat.
For a second she was lost in the moment, cold and tired but excited and free, until the boy spoke again and she would turn her gaze fully upon him. Her tail would take up an insistent wag behind her and she would leap forward and lick the underside of his chin with a swift flick. She would drop on her hunches again, truly exhausted despite her little display. ?That was so awesome! You where like a big white hero and you just cut through the water and pulled me back. Are you a hero? Are you what a hero looks like?? she peered at him closely to see if this could be so ? she had heard of heros before, but the only one she knew was Val ? she wasn't counting Emer only because she was her mum, she wasn't a hero, but a mum, althrough they where probably the same sort of thing. Her eyes would glance over the the other boy who had tried to help her and she would give him a wide grin too ? because it was the thought that counts.
