When a nighttime electrical fire engulfed seventy-year-old Vernon’s farmhouse miles away from the nearest fire station, his sixty-seven-year-old neighbor Bev raced to help alongside Moses, the mistreated donkey she had previously rescued.
After Moses kicked down the locked heavy oak back door with his hind legs, Bev braved the thick smoke to drag an unconscious Vernon to safety before rushing upstairs to rescue his young grandchildren, Abel and Sunny, from beneath their bed just before the ceiling collapsed.
Overwhelmed with remorse for his past hostility and neglect, a tearful Vernon apologized on the grass and stayed with Bev for four months while his home was rebuilt, finally accepting help from his neighbors.
Once the new house was completed, Vernon officially signed Moses’s bill of sale over to Bev and built a gate between their two farms so the children could bring apples to their loyal four-legged hero every morning before school.
