Would you drive around the world on a motorbike? Would you do it with a dog ________ behind you the whole way? Jess Stone is doing just that with her dog Moxie.

Stone and Moxie are traveling the world together by_________ . Their trip started on March 5 from their home in Guatemala and will ________ them through 90 countries. 

Moxie is a German shepherd who weighs 34 kilograms and is perfectly ______  on the back of a bike. According to Stone, it took the dog just a single weekend to learn how to  ______ . Sitting on the back of the bike in a motorcycle dog carrier, she looks    _____ with hot pink goggles (护目镜) to protect her eyes.

Stone could not  _______ leaving home without her beloved dog, so she decided to travel the world with Moxie. Traveling with a dog, _______ , has its limits, such as being  ______  to dog-friendly accommodations and attractions. 

But according to Stone, it’s totally  _______ it. “I see Moxie in my mirror _______ . Her head is always right up against my side. Sometimes she even _______  her big nose on my shoulder with her chin up there. It makes me feel so ________ that she’s really experiencing everything.”

One thing Stone has noticed so far is that no matter which country or area they have gone through, the reaction to Moxie is  ______ . “She just puts a big smile on everybody’s face,” Stone said. “And that’s the part that really _______ .”

Sleepy-eyed, I arrived in Jordan just before midnight: Picking up the rental car, the agent mumbled (咕哝) something about a gas station. Trying to stay _______, I really didn’t pay attention.

The next morning, I headed the desert castle excitedly. While driving, I noticed that there wasn’t a fuel gauge (指示器) on the dashboard. That was _______, but I didn’t think twice about it. I had just got the rental so there would be plenty of fuel.

After passing numerous gas stations, I was finally in the open desert. Complete _______. And that’s when my car suddenly came to a stop.

What? In the middle of nowhere, I stared at the engine with no idea what to do. _______ seized me.

Within 10 minutes, a Jordanian _______. He didn’t speak English and my Arabic was limited. After _______ my car, he told me through hand gestures that I was out of gas. Who knew that rental cars didn’t come with a full tank of gas there?!

The man _______ me to get in his car and drove to the nearest gas station to get extra petrol. We then got back to my car to put the gas in.

When I pulled out my wallet to pay him, he refused. My thanks, a smile, and one photo together were all he wanted. Before we fully _______, he even followed me a bit to ensure that I was safely on my way even though it was not getting late.

Today, whenever I think of Jordan, this memory _______ comes to mind, and my heart swells with gratitude. It is the stranger who saved my trip and reminded me of the importance of ________.
