I was walking my dog near my home in San Francisco last week when I saw a white dog. It was wearing a blue collar (颈圈), but I didn’t see its ________ anywhere. I waited for a while, but nobody came. Then I asked the dog ________ it wanted to come home with me or not. I was only joking, but it ran to me and stood by my side, ready to leave. I knew that this was a ________ dog.

On the dog’s collar, there was a tag (标牌) ________ a phone number. I called the number. Its owners, Tina and Dan, were surprised to hear from me. They said the dog’s name was Banjo and that they lived in Chicago, over 2,000 miles away. Banjo had been lost for over a year. And they had no idea how Banjo ________ it all the way across the country. They also had no idea how to get it ________ because they had a baby at home and couldn’t make the long trip to San Francisco.

I asked for ________ online. Lots of people wanted to help Banjo to get home. Then Banjo started its trip home. It ________ 20 drivers four days to send Banjo home. Banjo was ________ to meet the new baby and to be back home. ________ owners were excited to have it back, too.

Banjo’s story shows what people can achieve when they all work together.
