[03:06.54]I went to the door of my room.I felt it.
[03:13.02]The surface was hot so I didn't open it.The fire must be outside.
[03:22.08]I wet some towels and put them along the bottom of the door.
[03:29.35]'I tried the phone.It was dead.I coughed.
[03:37.89]A little smoke was getting past the towels.
[03:43.76]So I lay on the floor with Charlie beside me and waited.
[03:51.03]The minutes seemed like hours.Then I heard it — the sound of a fire engine.
[04:01.89]It was music to my ears.'I opened the window,waved and shouted.
[04:10.44]Charlie barked.Moments later,I heard a voice.
[04:17.49]The fireman at the window didn't want to take Charlie.
[04:23.94]"It's against the rules,"he said. I explained about Charlie.
[04:31.88]Seconds later,we were both safe on the ground.'
[04:37.76]'So you saved Charlie's life!'I said.'Yes,and he saved mine,'said John.
