When the storm hit, everyone ran for cover — except seven-year-old Ethan.

Through the pounding rain, he spotted a small dog tied to a fence, struggling to stay above the rising water. Without a thought, Ethan rushed in, wading through the flood, his heart racing as he fought to untie the rope cutting into the dog’s neck.

Soaked and shivering, he carried the trembling animal home. His parents wrapped it in a towel by the fire, and soon the dog — now named Stormy — began to trust again.

Weeks later, Stormy followed Ethan everywhere, sleeping at his feet and playing with Max, their family dog. When asked why he did it, Ethan simply said, “If I were him, I’d want someone to come.”

Because courage isn’t always loud — sometimes, it’s just a boy in the rain, choosing kindness.
