rushing to get ready. My dog, Tippy, got to the front door and lay down in
front of it – his way of asking to be petted. I1his begging for affection (喜爱), hurdled(跨) over him and ran for the waiting bus.
2, that afternoon, when I came home, Mom
said to me3, "Honey, I have some4news that I need to tell you. This
morning, while you were at school, Tippy was hit by a car and5 I'm so sorry."

always17.
I now deeply understand the
"circle of life". Everyone is born, everyone18, and that's the way it is. If dogs
never died, there would be no19for others like Belle – my new dog.
Best of all, I realized that Tippy20all of my good memories of him. And
they come to me every time I call!
