I was so _________ that I hoped to find a way to get rid of my anxiety. I tried everything I read about in books, and advice given by doctors. But it didn’t quite work.

But one afternoon, I saw a good _________ in a magazine, talking about how dogs were able to help people with anxiety. The next day, I decided to get a dog. When I brought my little dog, Buddy, home, I didn’t _________ how much he could change my life. It didn’t happen right away, however.

Once the “puppy excitement” went away, my anxiety came back _________. One morning, I woke up with those _________ feelings again. I didn’t want to get out of bed. Suddenly, Buddy started to _________ all over me, letting me know that it was time to go outside. And for the first time in my life, on a day when my anxiety was strong, I got out of bed. I put on my winter clothes and went for a _________ in the snow with my new friend. I realized at that moment, walking down the street in winter, my life was changing. I really was a new _________. This was my new beginning.
