Question

Brownie and Spotty were neighbour dogs who met every day to play together. Like pairs of dogs you can find in any ____, these two dogs loved each other and played ____ so often that they had worn a path through the grass of the field between their own houses.

One evening, Brownie’s family ____ that Brownie hadn’t returned home. They went looking for him with no ____. Brownie didn’t appear the next day, and, despite their ____ to find him, by the next week he was still missing.

Curiously, Spotty ____ at Brownie’s house alone, barking. Busy with their own lives, they just ignored the ____ little neighbour dog.

Finally, one morning Spotty ____ to take “no” for an answer. Spotty followed Ted about, barking strongly, then running towards a nearby wood, as if to say, “____ me! It’s urgent!”

Ted followed the anxious Spotty. The little dog led the man to a ____ spot a half mile from the house. There Ted found his beloved Brownie ____, one of his hind legs stuck in a steel leg hold trap. Horrified, Ted now wished he’d taken Spotty’s earlier requirement ____. Then Ted noticed something quite remarkable.
