Just home from work, Daddy stopped in the kitchen where Mother and I were preparing supper. From the look on his face, we knew something was 1 him.

“Mr. Roth is worse,” he said. “The doctor says it’s only a 2 of time now. The old man can 3 his pain, but not the long hours he has to spend along. His eyes are 4 bad that he can’t read, and he doesn’t get much 5 . He keeps begging for a big dog to be his companion, 6 he can reach out and touch as he sits in his wheelchair in the sun.”

“Why don’t they 7 him a dog?” I asked.

“Honey, with Mr. Roth in the hospital so much of time, there are a lot of 8 . There isn’t enough money.”

“They could go to the animal shelter and get one,” I 9 .

“Yes,” Daddy said. “I suppose they could. But it has to be a 10 dog, one they can trust to be gentle. Not all big dogs are.”

After supper, I 11 back where my big German shepherd(牧羊犬), Dan, was dozing under a tree. He jumped up and ran to meet me 12 he always did when I came into sight. There were no other 12-year-old girls in our neighborhood, so I 13 Dan for companionship. When I rode my bicycle, he ran behind me; when I roller-skated on the sidewalk, he trotted（小跑）behind. It had been that way since Daddy 14 him home four years before.

Now, I couldn’t forget Daddy’s words in the kitchen. I threw my arms around Dan’s neck and buried my face 15 his stiff hair.

“I love you,” I whispered to him. “I’d be 16 without you, but …oh, Dan, I know what I should do, 17 I don’t want to do it .”

I thought about Mr. Roth. He was old, sick and almost 18 . It seemed to me that he was just about out of blessings. I got up 19 . I knew what I had to do, and if I didn’t do it right now, I’d 20 myself out of it.

I went to my father and said, “Mr. Roth can borrow Dan.” Tears started down my face.
