Nurse Charlie
Several months ago, I had a car accident and required an operation. My wife Geraldine, told me that for the three days I was in hospital, our black dog, Charlie, (躺) at the door waiting for my return.
Charlie is (六) years old. Whenever I go out and can't take him with me, he patiently waits at the (前面) door for me. Geraldine says that at times he will not leave his place even when facing delicious food — very (不寻常) for a dog.
After I returned home, Charlie must have sensed that there was something different about me. For my (安全), he did not jump up to greet me, although his moving tail (清晰) showed that he was happy to see me. Instead, he waited till I could comfortably (休息) in bed. Then he hesitantly (踌躇地) came close to me and sat at the foot of my bed.
As I started to become more mobile, he played with me in a more gentle way. I am now much healthier and (有时) we go for walks together. Charlie does not (拉) hard on the lead. Besides, his steps try to suit (我的).
I could not have asked for a more careful nurse.
