Dogs like living with people. They are very friendly. They can do many things for people. Some dogs help people to look after sheep, other dogs help them to find the lost children. And some of the dogs can help the blind. They are the Seeing Eye Dogs.

    Now we can see this kind of dogs all over the world. They work for the blind.

    The Seeing Eye dog is strong and easy to train(训练). He helps the blind to walk from place to place. Before a dog becomes a Seeing Eye dog, it must go to a training school for about three months. First the dog has to learn to sit or stay when he hears the trainer's call. In his next lesson the dog learns to take his trainer across busy streets. The dog has many things to learn. At the end of the training school, he must take tests(测试). When it passes the test, it can become the Seeing Eye dog.    

    The new master(主人) may be a man, a woman, or even a child. It takes the dog and his blind master about a month to learn to work and live together.

    Bethany Hamilton is a professional surfer (职业冲浪手) in America. Her parents are both surfing lovers. As a baby, Bethany liked to play in the water. She started surfing at the age of five. By thirteen, she had been one of the best teenage surfers in the world. Then the shark attack (鲨鱼袭击) happened.

    On the morning of October 31, 2003, Bethany and some friends decided to go surfing. The sky was clear, and the sun was shining. The 13-year-old surfing star was lying on her surfboard (躺在她的冲浪板上) with her left arm in the clear, blue water. Suddenly a five-meter shark appeared and attacked her. Bethany saw the water around her tum red. She held on to her board and the shark swam away -- but it took her left arm with it. Luckily, the shark attacked only once. It all happened so fast that she didn't even shout.

    In her mind, Bethany thought, "Get to the beach. Get to the beach." She started to swim with one arm. She shouted for help. Her friends didn't know about the shark attack -- they thought at first that she was joking. Then they saw the red water and quickly came to help. It took her about fifteen minutes to reach the beach. They called 911 and. Bethany got to hospital at last. Surprisingly, she was surfing again in a competition only ten weeks later. And less than a year after the shark attack, she won first place in a surfing competition in Hawaii.
