If this story proves anything, it's that anyone can be a hero, as long as they are willing to help someone in need.
Two little girls were having a playdate in Beaufort, South Carolina, on January 16. Lilly Pike, 8, and Isabelle McClam, 5, were outside the latter's house when they suddenly heard a scream.
It was a man's voice coming from the marshes behind her house. Without even being able to see the man clearly, the two girls rushed back into the house.
"I opened the door and turned around to go back to my bedroom, and here comes Lilly and my daughter saying, 'Miss Sissy, I hear somebody yelling help, but I can't see him. He's in the marsh behind your house,'’’ said Sissy McClam, Isabelle’s mother
In fact, a young man's dog had run into the marsh, and when he went in to rescue her, he found himself stuck and unable to return to shore.
"Once you put one foot in there and it goes down, you pull this one up, and the next thing you know, it sucks around you,’’ Sissy said. “It's like quicksand. You can't do anything.’’
McClam took the little girls' initiative one step further, calling the Beaufort-Port Royal Fire Department.
The man and his dog were rescued and are OK. "These two little girls knowing what to do when they heard someone call for help saved this person's life," said Fire Department Chief Reece Bertholf.
