I
volunteered at the vet's (兽医诊所) last summer
vacation. Minnie was the most interesting dog that I saw there. Long hair
covered her body. And her tail looked like a mouse's tail.
She was brought to the vet's because her owner
didn't want her any more. Minnie was well-behaved(行为端正). "No one should judge(评判) her by her
appearance," I thought. So the people of the vet's looked after her.
Finally, I advertised Minnie in the local newspaper. "Funny-looking dog,
well-behaved, needs a loving family." When a young man called, I told him
that Minnie looked a little strange. The boy on the phone told me that his
grandfather's old dog had just died. They wanted to bring Minnie to him. I gave
Minnie a good bath. At last, an old car drove up in front of the vet's. Two
kids brought Minnie to their grandfather who was waiting in the car. Then the
grandfather held Minnie in his arms and touched her soft hair. Minnie kissed
his face. She waved her tail so quickly. "She's great!" the old man
said.
I was glad that Minnie found a good family.
That's when I saw that the grandfather was blind.
