I have neighbors whose adult son has been living with them since he lost his job. He is the fifth one of1 of his parents. He had no job but still enjoyed himself because he had a dog staying together with him.
2 , his dog died in July last year. That 3 hit him deeply, which was understandable, because he had spent most of his time walking the dog; Besides, he had made friends in the neighborhood with other dog 4 .
His parents didn't5 his idea of buying another dog because they wanted him to find work. It was a(n)6 time for him; I could see he was lonely 7 his dog. All he could do was help his mom with cooking or 8 at home.
I wanted to help him get rid of the bad feelings, so I invited him to9 the dog with me. We also10 in some picnic activities together. Then I thought maybe something else would help.
It was volunteering (自愿做) at the local humane society (动物保护协会), not far from where we live. It took only several11 for us to get there by bike. At first, he refused to volunteer to love the12 there. However, after only one week, he began to 13 me excitedly how happy he was. Now he seems to have purposes to return to school to learn zoology (动物学) and study animals in the future. I feel happy that he has14 . I am more pleased that he feels15 and valued. And that is so important to all of us.
