She had big round eyes and always seemed surprised, but she was blind.She was brought to the vet’s because her owner didn’t want her any more.

Then we waited for them to arrive.At last, an old car drove up in front of the vet’s. Two kids raced to t he door. They took her happily into their arms. Then they ran to their grandfather, who was waiting in the car.I hurried behind them to see what he would say about Minnie.Inside the car, the grandfather held Minnie in his arms and touched her soft hair. She licked (舔) his face. Her tail wagged(摇摆) so quickly that it looked like it would fly off her body.
