                                                                     Goldie's Secret

     She turned up at the doorstep of my house in Comwall. No way could I have sent her away.  No way,not me anyway.  Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before.  "We're moving house. ""No space for her any more with the baby coming. " "We never really wanted her,but what could we have done? She was a present. " People

find all soris of excuses for abandoning an animal.  And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever

seen.

      I called her Goldie.  If I had known what was going to happen I would have given her a more creative name.  She was so unsettled during those first few days. She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her. There was nothing I could do to make her happy,it seemed. Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owner's. But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down.  Always by my side,whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire.

     That's why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one' day when we were out for a walk.  We were a long way from home,when she started barking and getting very restless. Eventually I couldn't hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could.

     By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie.  But when I saw her licking (舔)

the four  puppies(幼犬)  I started to feel sympathy towards them.  "We didn't know what had happened

to her," said the woman at the door. "I took her for a walk one day,soon after the puppies were born,and

she just disappeared. " "She must have tried to come back to them and got lost," added a boy from behind her.

     I must admit I do miss Goldie,but I've got Nugget now,and she looks just like her mother. And I've

leamt a good lesson: not to judge people.
