On the border, a pack of wild dogs circled the soldiers for food． The leader of the pack was a gray- and-white dog called Nubs． He was
11 and hardly able to stand． Marine major Brian Dennis looked
12 and saw that there was a knife wound in his chest．
Dennis couldn't stand seeing the dog
13_．He and his men immediately treated the wound, and gave Nubs medicine．Nubs pulled through but was still in
14 ．The next day, the team had to
15 . Ten days later, Dennis' unit was back, and so was Nubs． He was still
16 ，but the men fed him and played with him．
Before long the unit once again left for the front 70 miles away． Nubs, slowly but
17 , followed them far into the trackless wasteland
_ 18 the men lost sight of him．Two days later, beyond Dennis'
19 , he saw Nubs just outside the outpost（前哨）．The dog had
20 him across 70 miles of frozen desert to meet with the friend who had
21 his life．From then on Nubs and the men
22 in the same place, and ran around in the same ruins（废墟）．
Until an order came that they were not
23_ to have pets, Dennis decided to make sure the dog would
24 _ to live the good life．So he quickly raised $4,000 from his family and friends to
25 Nubs to America．
A year later, when Dennis and the dog were
26 in California, at first Nubs didn't 27 the guy．But within minutes, the dog jumped into Dennis' arms, jumping
28 again and again to lick his friend's face．
A little love and concern in the middle of
29 will not save a violent world． But small stories, like the story of a soldier and a clog, hold a
30 of a harmonious（和谐的）world．
