An Excerpt
Two liver-and-white English springer spaniels jumped along the side of the first cage while additional dogs whined and pawed at the wires of the next two .
Why hadn ’ t the county shut this place down when I reported this mill situation ?
Anger refueled Sarah ’ s energy , and she swung the hammer with vigor onto the gate ’ s lock . It bounced back . Sarah turned her head to avoid the collision . She raised the hammer again , and , with an aggravated ARGH !, Sarah swung hard , cracking the lock . She flung the gate open , and the two springers leaped from the kennel and dashed away .
Breathing heavily , Sarah rushed to the next kennel containing two more springers . She raised the hammer again . “ What do you think you ’ re doing !?” Sarah whirled at the shout , hammer raised . The firefighter she faced took a reactive step backward . “ I ’ m saving their lives !” she yelled amid the roaring fire threatening the kennels .
