One day, rain was falling. I saw an old, wet dog walking to my house. The leather ring around his neck was old and has lost colour badly.

The old dog looked at me with fear. He didn't completely trust strangers. 4 I called him gently and whispered, "It's okay, boy." I put the bowl down and took a few steps back. I sat down in the wet grass and 5. Finally, the old dog smelt food and moved slowly forward. His own unpleasant smell came before him. He hasn't had a 6 for a long time either. I wondered if he was left or just lost. He dropped his head and ate the food in the bowl 7. Then just for a moment he looked up and gave me a 8 little smile. His brown eyes seemed to say, " 9." Then I hurried inside, filled the bowl again, and went back out but he has already gone. Only a few paw prints remained in the mud. I wanted to 10 him home and give him a bed. 11 we just shared a meal and a moment of love. Watching the bowl in my hand, I realized that even though I couldn't change his life, I had done 12 important. I stood in the rain, closed my eyes and made a little 13 that he would find a safe place to sleep that night and his future would be better.
Every moment of love you create is a 14. But caring doesn't necessarily go the way we want it to go. Anyway, I know that my little act of kindness 15, even though just for a moment. Maybe the old boy would find another kind person or maybe he would find his way back to me.
