The story takes place in the summer time at a camp ground, mid afternoon. A man named Bobby was taking a camping trip with just his dog. He had finished setting up the tent and had gone out into the water nearby to clean himself up, since he had been out hiking in the hot sun all day. He left his dog, Henry, behind to watch over the camp supplies. Henry waited a long time, and noticed Bobby wasn't returning. He followed the scent of his owner, and noticed Bobby out struggling in the waves. Bobby's foot had gotten trapped in something beneath the water, and the waves were making it hard for him to get his footing. Henry splashed through the water, and managed to pull Bobby free, dragging him back to his camp. The story ends with Bobby and Henry walking the beach together, and Bobby reflecting in amazement on his hero dog.
