I’ll Send You a Photo of Lucky

Dear Miss Li,

I‟d like to thank you for sending money to Animal Helpers. I‟m sure you know that this group was set up to help disabled people like me. You helped to make it possible for me to have Lucky. Lucky makes a big difference to my life. Let me tell you my story.

What would it be like to be blind or deaf? Or imagine you can‟t walk ou use your hands easily.

Most people would never think about this, but many people have these difficulties. I can‟t use my arms or legs well, so normal things like answering the telephone, opening and closing doors, or carrying things are difficult for me. Then one day last year, a friend of mine helped me out. She talked to Animal Helpers about getting me a special trained dog. She also thought a dog might cheer me up. I love animals and I was excited about the idea of having a dog.

After six months of training with a dog at Animal Helpers, I was able to bring him home. My dog‟s name is Lucky — a good name for him because I feel very lucky to have him. You see, I‟m only able to have a “dog-helper” because of your kindness! Lucky is very clever and understands many English words. He can understand me when I give him orders. For example, I say, “Lucky! Get my book,” and he does it at once.

Lucky is a fantastic dog. I‟ll send you a photo of him if you like, and I could show you how he helps me. Thank you again for changing my life.

Best wishes,

Ben Smith

P19 3a

Last month, our dog welcomed me when I came home from school. He wanted a walk, but I was too tired.

I threw down my bag and went to the living room. The minute I sat down in front of the TV, my mom came over. “Could you please take the dog for a walk?” she asked.

“Could I watch one show first?” I asked. “NO!” she replied angrily. “You watch TV all the time and never help out around the house! I can‟t work all day and do housework all evening.”

“Well, I work all day at school, too! I‟m just as tired as you are!” I shouted back.

My mom did not say anything and walked away. For one week, she did not do any housework and neither did I. Finally, I could not find a clean dish or a clean shirt.

The next day, my mom came home from work to find the house clean and tidy.

“What happened?” she asked in surprise.

“I‟m so sorry, Mom. I finally understand that we need to share the housework to have a clean and comfortable home,” I replied.
