Now whenever I hear of a friend who's lost a loved one, I no longer call with the polite offer, "If there's anything I can do…" Instead I try to think of one specific task that suits that man's need, like taking the dog to the boarding kennel, or house sitting during the funeral.
现在，每当我听到朋友失去亲人，我不再打电话礼貌地提出“如果有什么我能做的……”相反，我试图想出一个特定的适合那人需要的任务，如带狗去寄宿养犬处，或在葬礼时看房子。
I could have kept him in my back yard, but to pen up a dog like that is a sin.
我本可以把它留在后院里，但圈养这样的一条狗是件罪过。
What I would like to feel is that, having once had me in the family, now she cannot live without a dog!
我希望能够感受到，这个家庭一旦有了我之后，便无法再生活在没有狗的日子里。
