My grandmother became a widow in 1970. Shortly after that, we went to the  39  shelter to pick out a dog to keep her  40  . Grandma decided on a little dog with a reddish-brown spot above each eye.  41  these spots, the dog was named Penny.
Grandma and Penny quickly became very  42  to each other, but that attachment grew much stronger about three years later  43  Grandma had a stroke(中风). Grandma could no longer
44  , so when she came home from the hospital, she and Penny were  45  companions.
After her stroke, it became a real  46  for Grandma to let Penny in and out because  47  was at the bottom of a flight of stairs. So a mechanism(机械装置)using a rope and pulley(滑轮)was   48  from the door to a handle at the top of the stairs. Grandma just had to pull the handle to open and close the door. If the store was   49  Penny’s favorite dog food, Grandma would make one of us  50  Penny browned beef with potatoes in it. I can remember   51  my grandmother by saying that she loved that dog better than she loved her family.[来源:学|科|网]

If Grandma went into the   55  , Penny would walk along beside her, wait outside the door and accompany her   56  to the bed or chair. Grandma never went anywhere without her   57  companion by her side.
The time came when both my grandmother’s and Penny’s   58  were failing fast. After fifteen years of loving companionship, Grandma and Penny passed away within a few hours of each other.

Though money was tight, they never went without. They had a nice home in a modest neighborhood. What Tami missed most of all, though, was family.
Tami spent the summer during her ninth grade year working at a park to earn exam spending money. Her job was to organize activities for the kids who spent their summer days at the park. The kids absolutely loved Tami. She was constantly going out of her way to do things for them. She would plan picnics, organize field trips and even buy ice cream for all of them, using her own money. She always did more than the job required, even if it did mean using her own money.

The boy talked about his upcoming birthday and the fire truck he wanted so badly. He said he was going to be a fireman some day and needed the truck to practice. He told Tami more details about the truck than she knew a boy truck could have.
The boy’s birthday came and went. The next day when Tami saw the boy, she expected to see a shiny red truck in his arms. When he arrived empty – handed, she asked whether he had got the truck. The boy said no. His parents were going to get it for him later, when things were better. He seemed a little sad.

More than seven hundred years ago, the Prince of Wales had a very big and brave dog called Gelert. One day the Prince wanted to go hunt-ing with his men. He told his dog to stay at home and look after his baby son. The baby was in a wooden cradle, which was like a small bed. When the Prince came back from hunt-ing, Gelert ran out to meet his master. He wagged his tail and jumped up to put his paws on the Prince's chest. Then the Prince saw the blood on Gelert's jaws and head.
"What have you done?" the Prince said. He rushed into his house and looked for his baby son. The cradle was lying on its side on the floor. The clothes were torn and there was blood on them.
"So you have killed my son?" the Prince said angrily. "You unfaithful dog!" He took out his sword and killed the dog. Just as Gelert was dying, he managed to bark. Then the Prince heard a baby call to the dog.
