   During summer vacations,I would volunteer at the vet's (獸醫(yī)診所) ,so I'd seen a lot of dogs. Minnie was by far the funniest-looking dog I'd ever seen. Curly hair hardly covered her sausage-shaped (臘腸形的) body. Her big eyes always looked surprised. And her tail looked like a rat's.

   She was brought to the vet to be put to sleep because her owners didn't want her anymore. “No one should judge her by her looks”’ I thought. So instead of putting her to sleep,the vet and I gave her the chance to be adopted by someone else. I advertised Minnie in the local paper “ Funny-looking dog,well behaved,needs a loving family. ”
