Relief on the Shore
Returning to the shore, Jim kept a vigilant gaze on the boat where the dog rested. Upon emerging from the water, he witnessed the rescuers carefully transporting the dog onto the beach. Swathed in a cozy, dry blanket, the animal found security at last. Jim was overcome by a powerful surge of relief, nearly staggering him. Approaching cautiously, he aimed to confirm the dog’s well-being. The rescuers, speaking in gentle tones, provided comfort and care to the canine, ensuring not only its physical safety but also offering the solace of human compassion in the aftermath of the oceanic ordeal.
