　　At last, she arrived at her home．As she opened the door, she noticed something unusual about Sheba, a large dog．She could see easily Sheba was feeling bad and could hardly breathe（呼吸）. Joanne knew she would have to take her dog to the vet immediately.

　　“It looks like there's something in her throat（喉咙）,”said Dr. Stem, “It shouldn't take me too long to get it out.”
