Hero Cat ! does anyone else remember this first grade reader story with a big white cat in/on it?

Question

It was one of those macmillan/magraw hill soft cover readers they use in school.On the green cover there is a pic (illustration) of a big white cat as big as a person.In the story the cat saves a person from drowning at the beach and then everybody loves him & hugs him.

It was my fav. that leaves an impression on me even today.
