Brandy was an old dog. When her owner （die）, the dog stayed near the house and waited for her owner to return. Some of the neighbors left food out for Brandy. The dog was （friend）, so they weren't much concerned（担心） with Brandy.

    One day, Brandy walked into a neighbor's yard and began playing with  18-month-old boy. The boy whose name was Adam had fun （play） with her. Then the boy's mother left Adam in the yard to play while she answered the phone. When she returned he was （go）. The mother was scared and called the police. They looked for Adam for six hours but were （success）.

    Then people heard barking（狗叫声） coming from the woods. So they all rushed to the woods. Adam was fast asleep  a tree. Brandy was keeping Adam there while one of her own （leg） dangled over（悬垂） a deep hole.

    Brandy had followed Adam when he walked away. Seeing him in danger, she'd held him （safe） for all those hours.

    Adam's mother was so grateful Brandy spent the rest of her days with them. In Brandy's honor, Adam's mother founded Pets Alive, a pet rescue（救援） center in New York.
