Cindy and Tracy were former alumnae(校友) and best friends.Cindy lived alone in Los Angeles far away from her home in Paris,France.Though she was far away from home,Cindy was happy to have friends like Tracy and she also enjoyed the company of her pet dog,Ted,which she had adopted(收养) from the animal shelter.The two friends visited each other regularly.Tracy was not much of a pet lover,but as she was well aware of pet owners’ “Love me,love my dog” attitude,she was friendly to Ted and played with him on her visits.
Tracy never thought of keeping a pet in her own house until one day.Cindy invited her to dinner,during which Cindy expressed her intention to commit(托付) Ted to her care for a year.She told Tracy as her father’s health was failing,she would have to go back to Paris to take care of family business before her brother could graduate from college.Cindy was unwilling to send Ted back to the animal shelter or leave it to the hands of a complete stranger.
Knowing that Ted meant a lot to Cindy,Tracy gladly promised to help out.Soon,the day came when Cindy would leave for Paris.She took Ted to Tracy’s home,taking Ted’s food,bowl,bathing basin and toys etc.with her.She asked Tracy to remember Ted’s food preference and habits.She hugged Ted tightly in her arms for a while and asked Tracy to take Ted to the garden and play Ted’s favorite ball game.Cindy left Tracy’s house quietly,managing to avoid being seen by Ted.When she was out,tears filled her eyes.
After Cindy had left,Tracy tried her very best to take good care of Ted.She kept messaging Cindy asking for puppy-care advice.At first Ted was obviously not comfortable in Tracy’s house but as time went by,he began to accept her and Tracy got used to his existence.
