We often hear stories of animals rescuing people. But now someone has managed to return the favor(恩惠).
The event took place on one snowy January morning. Thomas Smith was walking his dog, Jack, in the park."As I was walking, I just saw Jack running onto the ice towards the ducks in the middle, and then he fell into the water and couldn't climb out," said Smith. He realized he had no choice but to try and save his dog."Someone else told me the lake was only one-meter deep, but it was at least twice that. I had to break my way through the 6cm ice.Finally, I got Jack by the neck and pulled him out. I don't think I'd ever felt so cold by the time we got back to dry land. And when we got there, everyone was asking if Jack was okay — no one was particularly worried about me!"
A neighbor, Julie Brown, saw it all happen. "The dog went onto an icy lake. All of a sudden, it started to go under.There were crowds of people around, and they were all shouting and screaming. Before I knew it, the owner (Smith)was in the water forcing his way through the ice. I couldn't stop imagining how cold it was. Everyone was very nervous, but he was as cool as a cucumber — he just crawled back out, put the dog on its lead(绳子), and went home."
Many regard him as a hero, but Mr.Smith is quitelaid-back(安详放松的) about it. "Most dog owners are the same as me. They would do what I did without a second thought. But in the future, I'm going to make sure he's on a lead when near any icy pond."

Cheetahs(猎豹) and other big cats(大型猫科动物) are in danger of dying out because they have few places to live and people hunt them. Can we help these big cats in danger
