I have loved and cared for all kinds of creatures for as long as I can remember. A few years ago, I came across news reports that said animals with _________ challenges are less likely to be adopted from _________ and are more at risk of being killed without pain.

I had to _________ up with some way to help because I believe all living things deserve a _________. During the pandemic, when activities were _________ and I was mostly at home, I had the perfect opportunity to go through online ways on how to build a _________ to help them. It takes me from a few weeks to a couple of months to make one. Each wheelchair is _________ and depends on the size of the animal and the type of support they require. I have built 16 wheelchairs so far, for dogs, a cat, a hedgehog — and a sling for a duck. When I help an animal _________ their moving ability back, it feels so rewarding and means _________ to me. Knowing that I’ve made a __________ in an animal’s life makes me feel needed, and seeing them use their wheelchair for the first time is __________ priceless.

It warms my heart! No matter what ability or disability an animal or human has, they deserve the best __________ of life possible. If you have a __________ for something and feel that you can change something, no matter how __________, then go for it. Have confidence and believe in yourself, and don’t let anyone __________ you!

It was early in the morning when people heard unusual noise. They had no choice but to _________ to see what it was. The workers _________ the Parnu River cautiously to _________ the strange noise they overheard. It was not until they were about 100 yards out that they could _________ what it was. It turned out that there was a _________ animal.

The animal making the noise seemed to be “dog”! Upon rescuing the “dog”, the men quickly wrapped the animal in a thick blanket to provide some much-needed _________.

The men phoned their local animal hospital, and then they were _________ that they should take it there as quickly as possible, so that’s what they did. The whole time there, the animal didn’t _________ at all. In fact, it slept all the way silently there.

Unfortunately, the vets felt confused and didn’t _________ know what they had on their hands. So they phoned a local hunter. Thankfully, the hunter hurried down to the ____________ and recognized exactly it as a wolf they ended up saving!

Sure enough, the wolf began to return to its ____________ ways the moment it started to recover. It was a one-year-old wolf. The ____________ arrived for the wolf to go back home. When they ____________ the cage that fine morning, it walked forward slowly and looked back several times. Not until they waved did it fly like a(n) ____________ from the string and then disappeared into the ____________.

A few years ago, I was leaving the dog kennel(养狗场) where I worked, only to find a baby goat at the end of the driveway. The kennel’s owners are animal rescuers, and I thought someone_________him over the fence. The kid was_________nervous but stood perfectly still as I got closer.

I’m an animal_________and I’ve brought home dogs, cats, horses, chickens, and fish, but never a goat. The tiny kid was too_________for me to leave it behind. I_________him Quincy and bottle- fed him in my bathroom.

Quincy proved to be quite_________. When he was about a week old, I tapped my fingers on the floor and said “_________” I was amazed when he dropped down. I was even more amazed when he did it three times_________. A quick study, Quincy learned to lie down, bow, and turn in a circle in no time. He knows the name of everything I feed him, and even joins us for_________to the dog park.

I often take my dogs to shows where they can perform their__________. Quincy did his first show at just six weeks old. He knew only a few tricks then, but he did them perfectly and never__________or got nervous in front of the crowd. Now he’ll shake hooves, come when called, walk on a leash, wave, smile for the__________( “Say cheese!” ), and more. Quincy and my dogs perform regularly at schools, nursing homes, and charity events. Quincy can even “read” his tricks off cue cards(提示卡), which always__________the most applause(掌声).

The goat kid nobody__________turned out to be one of the smartest animals I’ve had. He’s by far the sharpest of my bunch—just don’t tell the__________!
