      ‘‘That’s a nice dog,isn’t he?” Jack said,pointing at the animal.

      “Yes,he is.He’s handsome He’s a bit of a mixture,but that’s not a bad thing.He’s strong and healthy.’’

      “And hungry,” Jack said,“He hasn’t taken his eyes off you.He thinks you’ve got some food for him.”

      “That’s true.”Sue said.“But I haven’t.’’

      They both laughed and then Jack said,“Does your dog bite(咬)?”

      “No,’’Sue said,“He’s never bitten anyone.He’s always gentle and friendly.’’

      Heating this,Jack held out his hand and touched the animal’s head.Suddenly it jumped up and bit him.
