(2023·江西省复习验收考试)I'd been telling Sandy about my children,Emma and Tucker,aged seven and four.Sandy,in turn,was telling me about her four children: Jane,Joe,Christopher and eighteen-month-old Kim.She seemed so pleased to have kids move into the neighborhood.That was,until the door opened and out ran Emma and Sam.
Sam was our shiny black dog we had adopted three years earlier.Sam loved to hang with the kids,serving as both a playmate and a protector.But Sandy began to back up as Sam approached,I had never met anyone who feared dogs.As I saw her reaction,I quickly grabbed Sam by the collar and made him sit.
“I have to get the kids ready to go to their grandmother's,” Sandy said as she backed away from me,graciously trying to remove herself from the situation.
Suddenly her door opened,and out ran her kids.“Don't go near it!” she screamed.The kids were circled around their mom,closely watching Sam.Emma showed Joe the proper way to slowly approach a dog.Sam accepted Joe's affection.The kids were won over,but I knew it would take some time before Sandy would change.
From that time forward,we were careful not to let Sam cross the street to our neighbors without my company.One day,the kids were across the street playing together.Then I noticed the eighteen-month-old heading toward a little hill.Seeing a car approaching,I screamed,“Watch the baby!”
Sam stormed out the door and ran across the street toward the baby.He ran up the hill,stopping just short of knocking into her.He gently pushed her away from the approaching car.The kids,too involved in play to realize the seriousness of the situation a few minutes ago,ran toward her and Sam.The kids all cheered that Sam had come to play.
Within a year,Sam made friends with all the neighbors,and almost every family on our street had a dog.Even Sandy would occasionally come and give Sam a hug.
