It is a Saturday morning．You have your breakfast，walk the dog，and then go to football practice on time．A few hours later,you return home,only to find that the dog has made your bedroom untidy．Your clothes are on the floor．________
Before you get angry,you should stop and think．Your dog wasn't misbehaving（捣蛋）just for the fun of it．And he wasn't punishing（惩罚）you for leaving．________It's called separation anxiety（分离焦虑）．
Think of it this way：Dogs can't ask where you're going or when you'll back________ All they know is that they want to be with you．Since you're not there,they need to find you.Dogs may。
