Life is full of unexpected things. This is even true to a small pet dog. A dog called Romeo was pulled from the rubble (瓦砾) five days after an earthquake.
Years ago, a terrible earthquake happened in a country near Pacific Ocean. Romeo’s owners were on the second floor of their house at that time. They managed to get out. But Romeo was sleeping on the first floor and was trapped (困住) inside. After the earthquake, they tried their best to search for Romeo, but failed. After a few hours, they had to leave the village for their own safety.
During this period of time, the couple thought there wasn’t any chance to find Romeo alive. Five days later, they returned to their village with a group of firemen. Almost as soon as they came into the village, Romeo heard their voices and began barking (吠叫). The couple couldn’t believe their ears. The firemen began digging at once. It was lucky that the dog was not injured.
After Romeo was saved, it drank its first drops of water in more than 230 hours. Then he looked better. When Romeo’s owners saw him, they couldn’t help crying. “We thought we had lost him forever!” said one of Romeo’s owners. Then Romeo left happily with his owners.
The unexpected thing also cheered those firemen. “We believe there must be many more that are still alive. We’ll try our best to save them,” one fireman said.
