Brownie and Spotty were neighbor dogs who met every day to play together. Like pairs of dogs you 36 find in most any neighborhood, these two loved each other and played 37 so often that they had worn a path through the grass of the field between their own houses.
One evening, Brownie’s family 38 that Brownie hadn’t returned home. They went looking for him with no 39 .Brownie didn’t appear the next day, and, despite their 40 to find him, by the next week he was still missing.
Curiously, Spotty 41 at Brownie’s house alone, barking. Busy with their own lives, they just ignored(不理睬)the 42 little neighbor dog.
Finally, one morning Spotty 43 to take “no” for an answer. Spotty followed Ted about, barking strongly, then running towards a nearby wood, as if to say “ 44 me! It’s urgent!”
Finally, Ted followed the anxious Spotty. The little dog led the man to a 45 spot a half mile from the house. There Ted found his beloved Brownie 46 , one of his hind legs stuck in a steel leg hold trap. Horrified, Ted now wished he’d taken Spotty’s earlier requirement 47 .Then Ted noticed something quite remarkable.
Spotty had done more than simply 48 Brownie’s human owner to his trapped frie
nd. In a circle around the 49 dog. Ted found some dog food---which was later 50 as the remains of every meal Spotty had been fed that 516 !
Spotty had been visiting Brownie 52 , in a single-minded quest to keep his friend alive by offering 
his own comfort. Spotty had obviously stayed with Brownie to protect him from being hurt, snuggling(依偎) with him at night to keep him 53 and touching him gently with its nose to keep his spirits up.
Brownie’s leg was treated by a veterinarian and he re-covered. For many years afterward, the two 54 watched the faithful friends frolicking(嬉戏)
55 chasing each other down that well-worn path between their houses.
