問題詳情：

When my father was a boy, he had a dog named Laddie. Laddie stayed constantly by my dad’s side---fishing, playing ball, and even following him to school. In fact, my grandmother had a habit of waiting until my father had arrived at school before sending Laddie outside. However, this was no problem for Laddie because he would simply follow his boy’s smell and track him all the way to Howard Junior High School.

Arriving after all the doors closed, Laddie would sit outside the school and wait patiently. Eventually, someone would open a door and Laddie would slip in after him. Once inside, the dog would walk from room to room until he found his master. Of course, Dad’s teacher would immediately demand that the dog be removed. “School is no place for dogs,” he would angrily say. My father would obey, leading Laddie outside and firmly commanding, “Go home!” Every time this happened, though, Laddie would soon reappear under my father’s desk. Finally, Dad’s teacher relented, and from that point on, whenever Laddie appeared in class, Dad would say, “Lie down,” and the dog would lie quietly under the desk while he boy wet on with his work.

Years later, my father went to join his five brothers in World War II, but Laddie continued to atted school, lying quietly each day at the feet of my dad’s younger brother, Dick. Laddie’s attendance was so consistent that Howard Junior High School awarded him an honorary title(榮譽稱號)when Dick graduated.

There was also another cute dog called Casey in my dad’s life.

Casey, a dog who’d remind you of Wilbur, the pig in Charlotte’s Web, entered the world in an unplanned litter of seven puppies. His mother, Dagmar, belonged to my Aunt Betty and Uncle Bob. Like most dogs, Casey was sweet and gentle—the perfect dog for a house full of kids.
