Sense Sonnet - Pumper

Dorado

In the World Trade Center, at work
On 9/11, when hell struck,
And all around me went berserk.
Blind, I thought I was out of luck,
But, Dorado knew what to do.
The labrador retriever led
Me through the smokey hallways to
The stairs. Dorado stayed ahead,
And 70 floors we walked down,
For hours, one step at a time,
To ground zero of New York town,
Surviving that horrible crime.

I was saved on that fateful day
By Dorado who led the way.
