There was a little girl, she was five. She had a dog who was a watchdog. It would always stay up to watch the door for her and her mother. The girl loved the dog, but her mother didn't.
The little girl's father was away at war, far away in China!
Late at night, the house alarm went off! The little girl did not wake up. The dog had to jump on her to wake her! She woke slowly and said, "Why did you wake me up?" The dog couldn't explain it to her because he was a dog. Then she heard the alarm and understood why he woke her up.
She quickly ran into her mother's room and woke her up. Her mother went to check the front door, and standing outside in the rain was her father!!! She missed him so much, so did her mom. They threw open the door and hugged and kissed him. They were so glad he was home!
The daddy asked why they didn't come to the door when he knocked. The little girl explained how the dog had woken her by jumping on her.
Her parents laughed and her mom said, "I guess he's a pretty good dog after all!"
