My grandmother became a widow in 1970. Shortly after that, we went to the  39  shelter to pick out a dog to keep her  40  . Grandma decided on a little dog with a reddish-brown spot above each eye.  41  these spots, the dog was named Penny.
Grandma and Penny quickly became very  42  to each other, but that attachment grew much stronger about three years later  43  Grandma had a stroke（中风）. Grandma could no longer
44  , so when she came home from the hospital, she and Penny were  45  companions.
After her stroke, it became a real  46  for Grandma to let Penny in and out because  47  was at the bottom of a flight of stairs. So a mechanism（机械装置）using a rope and pulley（滑轮）was   48  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   49  Penny’s favorite dog food, Grandma would make one of us  50  Penny browned beef with potatoes in it. I can remember   51  my grandmother by saying that she loved that dog better than she loved her family.[来源:学|科|网]
As the years passed, it was not  52  for Grandma and Penny to separate each other. If Grandma went to take her nap（打盹）, Penny stayed by her side until she  53  . As Penny aged, she could no longer jump up on the bed, so she   54  on the rug （垫子）beside the bed. If Grandma went into the   55  , Penny would walk along beside her, wait outside the door and accompany her   56  to the bed or chair. Grandma never went anywhere without her   57  companion by her side.
The time came when both my grandmother’s and Penny’s   58  were failing fast. After fifteen years of loving companionship, Grandma and Penny passed away within a few hours of each other.
