Lulu is a brave pet in our shelter．As you know, there are a lot of forest fires during the summer season．Many forests are badly damaged by fire each year．Not far from our shelter, a forest caught fire during this hot summer．We were in a heat wave which had been 　36　 for three days．

　 Lulu rushed towards the forest where flames sent out a terrible 37 ．I no longer had any　 hope that Lulu would come back to the shelter．In fact, I was waiting for the firemen to announce his 　38　 　in the forest, when suddenly, a fireman burst into my shelter and　 39 me that my dog Lulu had　 40　 to save four kittens who were trapped by the flames．According to the fireman, Lulu seized the kittens, one by one moving them to a safe place．I immediately accompanied the fireman to the forest to　 41　 the rescued kittens．When we arrived at the　 42　 of the incident, we found Lulu was not there．Then we heard the　 43　 of a dog came from the forest barking furiously．I recognized it was my dog Lulu．The fireman followed the tracks of the dog until we found him barking　 44　 by the side of an injured fireman who was lying on the ground and desperately waiting rescue．Thanks to Lulu, four kittens and a fireman were saved．

That day, I was very proud of Lulu for his two heroic　 45　 toward the kittens and the fireman．Lulu showed much compassion (同情) for both animals like him and for a human being who was trying to　 46　 the fire with his colleagues．

This true story of genuine love and compassion shows us that pets are loving,　 47　 and compassionate．We should love and protect them．One day they could do us a good turn．
