The river had never risen this high before.
When I reached the floodgate, I saw a dog standing alone on the concrete wall.
Completely soaked.
Not moving.
Just staring at the water like it was waiting for something.
I checked the collar.
No name.
No owner nearby.
The current was getting stronger by the minute.
I tried to call it.
“Hey! Come here!”
The dog didn’t even look at me.
Instead, it stepped closer to the edge.
Then something strange happened.
It started barking at the water.
Not at me.
Not at anything on land.
At the water itself.
Like it was trying to warn it.
Then I noticed something floating beneath the surface.
A small backpack.
Caught against the gate.
And tied to it… a child’s shoe.
The dog suddenly jumped into the water.
