Poor Boy Hears Dog Barking in Neighbor’s House for Two Days and Decides to Check Inside — Story of the Day

Ethan, a kind but lonely 13-year-old, lived with his struggling parents, who pinned their hopes on his future. One summer, he noticed his neighbor Carla’s dog barking nonstop for two days. Concerned, he checked on her and found the elderly woman collapsed inside.

Breaking in, he called 911, saving her life. Sadly, Carla later passed away, but before she died, she left her house to Ethan’s family in gratitude. His parents, relieved to have a new home, realized kindness mattered more than money. Meanwhile, Ethan found comfort in Carla’s loyal dog, Rocky, and his family finally saw him as more than just their future provider.
