The Rescued Puppy
Sammy was out for a walk in the woods when she came across a little puppy laying on the trail. Sammy bent down and the little dirty puppy opened its eyes. She could see that the small animal hadn’t been eating proper meals and its skin was covered in cuts。
Sammy scooped up the creature and carried it home. Once home Sammy put the puppy straight into the bath. The puppy didn’t like the water and as it was trying to get out of the sink, Sammy discovered the puppy was a girl. Finally, after the pup was cleaned and fed, she took her to the vet. The vet gave the tiny dog some medicine and told Sammy the pup would be fine。
Sammy wanted to keep the puppy but she couldn’t because she was allergic to dogs. Sammy posted the puppy’s picture on the Internet. Five days later a family came and took the puppy home。Sammy was sad to see her little friend go but she knew she was going to a good home。
獲救的小狗
薩米在森林散步時，發(fā)現(xiàn)一只小狗躺在路上。薩米低頭看，臟兮兮的小狗張開它的眼睛，她看得出這只小動物已經(jīng)很久沒好好吃東西，身上還有幾處傷口。
薩米抱起小狗，帶它回家。一回到家，薩米便幫小狗洗澡，小狗不喜歡水，一直想逃出洗手臺，就在此時，薩米注意到它是只母狗。等到洗干凈并喂過小狗后，她帶它去看獸醫(yī)，獸醫(yī)替這只小狗開了些藥，并告訴薩米它沒事。
薩米很想養(yǎng)狗，可是她對狗過敏不能養(yǎng)。她在網(wǎng)絡(luò)上張貼小狗的照片，五天后，一戶人家前來帶小狗回家。薩米看著她的小小朋友離開，感到很難過，不過她知道它將去到好人家。
