解析：
【分析】
这是一篇基础的短文语法填空题，解题时首先要通读全文，理解短文讲述宠物猫的整体语境，之后逐个分析每个空格的句子成分、逻辑关系：如果给出了括号内的提示词，先判断空格需要的词性、时态、语态，结合对应的语法规则变形；如果没有提示词，就结合固定搭配、语境逻辑填入合适的介词、冠词等虚词，一步步推导就能得到正确答案。
【解析】
1. 空格处修饰名词pet cat，猫和name（命名）是逻辑上的被动关系，意为“被叫做咪咪的宠物猫”，用过去分词作后置定语，故填named。
2. 空格后是名词fur（皮毛），需要形容词性物主代词修饰名词，it对应的形容词性物主代词为Its，且位于句首首字母大写，故填Its。
3. 空格位于be动词is之后，需要形容词作表语，friend的形容词形式friendly意为“友好的”，符合语境，故填friendly。
4. 此处考查固定搭配make sb. do sth.，表示“让某人做某事”，后面接动词原形，故填laugh。
5. 此处是固定搭配come home from school，意为“放学回家”，符合语境，故填介词from。
6. and连接并列的谓语动词，主语it是第三人称单数，和前面的谓语runs时态保持一致，用一般现在时的第三人称单数形式，故填welcomes。
7. 此处泛指院子里的蝴蝶，可数名词butterfly要用复数形式表示一类事物，故填butterflies。
8. 空格处修饰动词短语go down，需要用副词作状语，形容词safe对应的副词形式为safely，意为“安全地”，故填safely。
9. 此处是固定短语have a good rest，意为“好好休息”，故填不定冠词a。
10. 此处是固定搭配by/at one's side，意为“在某人身边”，符合语境“孤独的时候宠物陪伴在侧”，故填by/at。
【答案】
1. named 2. Its 3. friendly 4. laugh 5. from 6. welcomes 7. butterflies 8. safely 9. a 10. by/at
【知识点】
词形转换，非谓语动词，固定搭配
【点评】
本题属于初中阶段基础的语法填空题型，覆盖了过去分词作定语、物主代词、形容词副词变形、主谓一致、常见固定短语等核心基础考点，整体难度不高，只要学生掌握基础语法规则，能准确分析句子成分，结合语境就能顺利完成作答。

Man’s best friend: the loyal dog
Dogs, who have been our friends for thousands of years, are more than just pets—they’re family. With their wagging tails and warm eyes, these loyal animals can understand human emotions better than many people think. They could once work as hunters or guards, but today, they often become companions that bring joy to our lives.
In cities, you may see homeless dogs wandering the streets. Sadly, some humans forget their responsibility to look after these animals. Thankfully, many kind people work to save them. Animal shelters allow volunteers to feed and care for sick or lonely dogs. With proper training, even scared dogs can become confident and friendly.
Dogs’ amazing abilities make them true heroes. Some can smell diseases in humans, while others help blind people walk safely. Police dogs could find missing persons or detect danger. Their bravery and intelligence remind us why they deserve our respect.
If you want to adopt a dog, remember: they need daily walks, healthy food, and lots of love. A happy dog’s playful energy will fill your home with laughter. Let’s promise never to forget that saving animals is also saving kindness in our world.
