Question

 On the Iraq-Syria border,a pack of wild dogs circled American soldiers for food. The leader of the pack was a gray-and-white dog. The soldiers called him Nubs. Nubs was shaking and 1      able to stand. Brian Dennis looked closer and saw that there was a knife wound 2      his chest.

  Dennis couldn’t stand seeing the dog 3      He and his men immediately treated the wound,and gave Nubs oral medicine. Nubs 4      but was still in pain.

Two days later,beyond Dennis’10     ,he saw Nubs just outside the outpost. The dog had tracked him across 70 miles of desert to 11      with the friend who had saved his life. From then on Nubs and the men slept in the same place,and ran around in the same ruins.
