Sammy the Rescuer

Send us a text

On his way home, Sammy hears a frightened little dog and finds two boys throwing rocks. He steps in to protect her, takes her home for the night, and starts posting signs to find her family. Kindness spreads when Scott, one of the boys, helps put up the signs. Soon a grateful owner appears and “Penny” goes home. At Sabbath School the Shoebox Kids learn about Balaam and his donkey, and Sammy sees how listening to God and caring for animals builds a name people can trust. The next day, neighbors bring Sammy a stray kitten because they know he will help. A gentle story about courage, compassion, and doing the right thing even when no one is watching. 

Talk about it:

• What brave choice did Sammy make when he saw the boys with rocks?
• How did Sammy’s kindness change Scott’s actions?
• What does the Balaam story teach us about listening to God and treating animals kindly?
• Who could you help or protect this week?
