Dinnie, a cute little dog, will always be in my mind. I worked _______ a volunteer at the vet’s clinic(诊所) this summer holiday, so I'd seen _______ dogs. Dinnie was by far the funniest-looking dog _______ I'd ever seen. Thin curly(弯曲的) hair _______ her sausage-shaped body. Her bright eyes often seemed surprised. And her tail looked like a rat's tail.

She was brought to the vet to be put to _______ because her owners didn't want her any more. _______, I thought Dinnie had a sweet personality. “No one should _______ her by her looks,” I thought. So the vet _______ her and she was no longer in danger of losing her life. Finally, I _______ Dinnie in the local newspaper: "Funny-looking dog, well behaved, needs loving family."

When a young man ________, I warned him that Dinnie was ________ looking. The boy on the phone told me that his grandfather's sixteen-year-old dog had just died. They wanted Dinnie ________ it was. I gave Dinnie a good bath and fluffed up(拍松) her hair. Then we ________ them to arrive.

At last, an old car drove up in front of the vet's. Two kids ran to the door. They ________ Dinnie into their arms and rushed her out to the ________, who was waiting in the car. I ________ them to see his reaction to Dinnie.

Inside the car, the grandfather patted Dinnie ________ in his arms and touched her soft ________. She licked his face. Her tail shook around so quickly that it looked ________ it might fly off her body. It was love at first lick.

“She's perfect! ” the old man said.

I was thankful that Dinnie had found the good home that she ________. That's when I saw that the grandfather's eyes were a milky white color --- he was blind.
