One rainy afternoon, I found a small dog trembling (颤抖) under a bench near my house. It looked scared and hungry. I decided to take it home, even though my parents had always said no to pets.
When I showed the dog to my mom, she sighed and said, "We can't keep it. We're too busy to care for a pet." I begged her to let it stay just for one night. Finally, she agreed.
I named the dog Lucky. I gave it a warm bath and some food. Lucky wagged (摇摆)its tail excitedly, as if thanking me. The next morning, my dad noticed Lucky sitting quietly in the corner. "It's actually well-behaved (温顺的)," he said. Surprisingly, my parents agreed to keep Lucky until we found its owner if I promised (承诺) to take full responsibility (责任).
Over the next few days, Lucky became part of our family. It followed me everywhere and even learned to follow simple orders like "sit" and "stay." One day, when I was upset about a math test, Lucky rested its head on my leg. It seemed to understand my feelings.
A week later, we put up "Lost Dog" posters around the neighborhood. No one called. My mom said, "Maybe Lucky was meant to be ours." I hugged Lucky tightly, feeling thankful for this unexpected friendship.
Lucky taught me that kindness is a way to connect hearts, even between humans and animals.
