As a vet, I have often felt helpless to comfort the sad owners whose pets are very ill and
going to die. That was 16 I met Shane.
I had been called to 17 a ten-year-old dog named Belker who had cancer(癌症).The
dog’s owners-Steven and Mary were very 18 .So was their little boy, Shane. I told the
family we couldn’t do 19 for Belker, and offfered the euthanasia(安乐死) for the old dog
in their home. As we made the final 20 , the parents told me it would be good for the
ten-year-old Shane to see the euthanasia. They felt Shane could learn something 21 the
experience.
The next day, I felt a catch in my throat as Beker’s family were around him. Shane seemed so
calm, 22 the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going
on.
A few minutes later, Belker died 23 . The little boy seemed to accept Belker’s death
without any difficulty. We sat together and talked about why animal lives are 24 than
human lives . Shane , who was listening quietly, suddenly said, “I know why.” Shocked, we all 25 him and were surprised at what he had said.
“People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life—like loving everybody and
being nice, right?” He continued,“Well, dogs already know 26 to do that, so they don’t
have to stay as long as human beings.” It was good to comfort owners that I had never heard it
before.
Shane makes me realize that a dog is the teacher for people, we will learn things like:
Run , 27 , and play happily.
When loved ones come home, always run to meet 28 .
When someone is having a 29 day, be silent(沉默的), sit close by him.
Love people and don’t 30 the wrong things they do for us.
