Question

During summer vacations, I would volunteer at the pet rescue (救助) centre, so I could see a lot of dogs. Minnie was the funniest-looking dog I'd ever seen by far. Her body looked like a sausage. Her hair was too thin to       her body. Her eyes always seemed surprised, and her tail was so short that it looked like a rat’s tail.

She looked so strange that her       didn’t want her any more. She was brought to the centre. But I thought, “Minnie was kind and sweet. No one should laugh at her strange looking.” So I gave Minnie a good bath and      her in the newspaper: “Funny-looking dog, kind and sweet, needs loving       .”

Later, a boy called me, but I warned him that Minnie was       . However, the boy told me that his grandfather’s sixteen-year-old dog had just died. They wanted to keep Minnie very much. Hearing these words, I said that they could take Minnie away. I combed (梳) her hair, and gave her a good bath. Then we waited for them to arrive.

At last, an old car stopped in front of the pet rescue centre. Two kids       to the door. They put Minnie into their arms and rushed out to their grandfather, who was waiting in the car. I hurried behind them to see his reaction (反应).

Inside the car, the grandfather put Minnie in his arms and       her soft hair. She looked very relaxed and happy. “She’s perfect, and I like her!” the old man said. I was      that Minnie had found a good owner. Just at that time, I saw that the grandfather’s eyes were a milky white color—he was blind.

After that summer vacation, I missed Minnie so much. So I went back to the grandfather’s house. The grandfather was walking in the garden with Minnie     the way. I could see both of them were happy. “Minnie is the most beautiful dog in my eyes,” said the grandfather, “I’ve       felt happier before!” Hearing this, I was pretty happy!
