My grandmother became a widow in 1970. Shortly after that, we went to the  1  shelter to pick out a dog to keep her  2  . Grandma decided on a little dog with a reddish-brown spot above each eye.  3  these spots, the dog was named Penny.

Grandma and Penny quickly became very  4  to each other, but that attachment grew much stronger about three years later  5  Grandma had a stroke(中風(fēng)).Grandma could no longer   6  , so when she came home from the hospital, she and Penny were  7  companions.

After her stroke, it became a real  8  for Grandma to let Penny in and out because  9  was at the bottom of a flight of stairs. So a mechanism(機(jī)械裝置)using a rope and pulley(滑輪)was   10  from the door to a handle at the top of the stairs. Grandma just had to pull the handle to open and close the door. If the store was   11  Penny’s favorite dog food, Grandma would make one of us  12  Penny browned beef with potatoes in it. I can remember   13  my grandmother by saying that she loved that dog better than she loved her family.

As the years passed, it was not  14  for Grandma and Penny to separate each other. If Grandma went to take her nap(打盹), Penny stayed by her side until she  15  . As Penny aged, she could no longer jump up on the bed, so she   16  on the rug (墊子)beside the bed. If Grandma went into the   17 , Penny would walk along beside her, wait outside the door and accompany her   18  to the bed or chair. Grandma never went anywhere without her   19  companion by her side.

The time came when both my grandmother’s and Penny’s   20  were failing fast. After fifteen years of loving companionship, Grandma and Penny passed away within a few hours of each other.
