My grandmother became a widow in 1970. Shortly after that, we went to the  21 shelter to pick out a dog to keep her  22 . Grandma decided on a little dog with a reddish-brown spot above each eye.  23 these spots, the dog was named Penny.
Grandma and Penny quickly became very  24 to each other, but that attachment grew much stronger about three years later  25 Grandma had a stroke（中风）. Grandma could no longer  26 , so when she came home from the hospital, she and Penny were  27 panions.
After her stroke, it became a real  28 for Grandma to let Penny in and out because  29 was at the bottom of a flight of stairs. So a mechanism（机械装置）using a rope and pulley（滑轮）was   30 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   31 Penny’s favorite dog food, Grandma would make one of us  32 Penny browned beef with potatoes in it. I can remember   33 my grandmother by saying that she loved that dog better than she loved her family.
As the years passed, it was not  34 for Grandma and Penny to separate each other. If Grandma went to take her nap（打盹）, Penny stayed by her side until she  35 . As Penny aged, she could no longer jump up on the bed, so she   36 on the rug （垫子）beside the bed. If Grandma went into the   37 , Penny would walk along beside her, wait outside the door and acpany her   38 to the bed or chair. Grandma never went anywhere without her   39 panion by her side.
The time came when both my grandmother’s and Penny’s   40 were failing fast. After fifteen years of loving panionship, Grandma and Penny passed away within a few hours of each other.
