| During summer vacations, I would work at a hospital for pets, so I"d seen a lot of dogs. Minnie was by far the funniest-looking dog I"d ever seen. Thin curly hair barely covered her sausage-shaped body. Her bugged-out (凸出)eyes always seemed surprised. And her tail looked like a rat"s tail. She was brought to the hospital because her owners didn"t want her anymore. I thought Minnie had a sweet personality, though."No one should judge her by her looks," I thought. She was quite fit and didn"t need any treatment. So I advertised Minnie in the local paper:"Funny-looking dog, well behaved, needs loving family."

Inside the car, the grandfather held Minnie in his arms and touched her soft hair gently. She moved her mouth over his face.
