My grandmother became a widow in 1970. Shortly after that, we went to the 39 shelter to pick out a dog to keep her 40 . Grandma decided on a little dog with a reddish-brown spot above each eye. 41 these spots, the dog was named Penny.
Grandma and Penny quickly became very 42 to each other, but that attachment grew much stronger about three years later 43 Grandma had a stroke（中风）. Grandma could no longer
44 , so when she came home from the hospital, she and Penny were 45 companions.
After her stroke, it became a real 46 for Grandma to let Penny in and out because 47 was at the bottom of a flight of stairs. So a mechanism（机械装置）using a rope and pulley（滑轮）was 48 from the door to a handle at the top of the stairs. Grandma just had to pull the handle to open and close the door. If the store was 49 Penny’s favorite dog food, Grandma would make one of us 50 Penny browned beef with potatoes in it. I can remember 51 my grandmother by saying that she loved that dog better than she loved her family.
As the years passed, it was not 52 for Grandma and Penny to separate each other. If Grandma went to take her nap（打盹）, Penny stayed by her side until she 53 . As Penny aged, she could no longer jump up on the bed, so she 54 on the rug （垫子）beside the bed. If Grandma went into the 55 , Penny would walk along beside her, wait outside the door and accompany her 56 to the bed or chair. Grandma never went anywhere without her 57 companion by her side.
The time came when both my grandmother’s and Penny’s 58 were failing fast. After fifteen years of loving companionship, Grandma and Penny passed away within a few hours of each other.
