       Brownie and Spotty were neighbor dogs who met every day to play together. Like pairs of dogs you can find in most any neighborhood,these two loved each other and played together so often that they had worn a path through the grass of the field between their respective houses.
       One evening, Brownie's family noticed that Brownie hadn' t returned home. They went looking for him with no success. Brownie didn't show up the next day, and, despite their efforts to find him, by the next week he was still missing.
       Curiously, Spotty showed up at Brownie's house alone. Barking,whining and generally pestering Brownie's human family. Busy with their own lives, they just ignored the nervous little neighbordog.
       Finally, one morning Spotty refused to take "no" for an answer.Ted, Brownie's owner, was steadily harassed by the furious, adamant little dog. Spotty followed Ted about, barking insistently, then darting toward a nearby empty lot and back, as if to say, "Follow me! It's urgent!"
       Eventually, Ted followed the frantic Spotty across the empty lot asSpotty paused to race back and bark encouragingly. The little dog led the man under a tree, past clumps of trees, to a desolate spota half mile from the house. There Ted found his beloved Brownie alive, one of his hind legs crushed in a steel leg  hold trap.Horrified, Ted now wished he'd taken Spotty's earlier appeals seriously. Then Ted noticed something quite remarkable.
       Spotty had done more than simply led Brownie's human owner to his trapped friend. In a circle around the injured dog, Ted found anarray of dog food and table scraps which were later identified as the remains of every meal Spotty had been fed that week!
       Spotty had been visiting Brownie regularly, in a single mindedquest to keep his friend alive by sacrificing his own comfort.Spotty had evidently stayed with Brownie to protect him from predators, snuggling with him at night to keep him warm and nuzzling him to keep his spirits up.
       Brownie's leg was treated by a veterinarian and he recovered. For many years thereafter, the two families watched the faithful friends frolicking and chasing each other down that well worn path between their houses.

Spotty做到的不仅仅是领着Brownie的主人找到他的被夹住的朋友. 在这个受伤的狗周围, Ted 发现了狗粮,后来证实是Spotty这周食武的剩菜。

Spotty不只是将Brownie的主人带到落入圈套的朋友身边,在受伤的狗周外,Ted发现了摆放着一些狗粮和残羹,后来证实这是Spotty这一周结余的口粮。
Spotty一直坚持定期去看Brownie,为了让他的朋友活着,他牺牲了舒适。Spotty呆在Brownie身边以免他被食肉动物吃掉,晚上依偎着他使他温暖并用鼻子蹭他的朋友鼓励他打起精神。

Spotty做得比单纯的带brownie的主人到它陷入困境的朋友身边要多。在受伤的狗的周围,Ted找到了狗粮和残羹,后来被证实是Spotty那一周每顿饭的剩余。
Spotty定期的看望Brownie,透过牺牲自己的舒适,去使它的朋友存活。Spotty 待在Brownie的身边,以保护它不被肉食动物吃掉,晚上依偎在它身边给它温暖,并且用鼻子蹭它的朋友使它鼓起精神。

Spotty做的不仅仅是将Brownie的主人带到它那陷入困境的朋友身边。在受伤的狗的周围一圈,Ted发现了一大堆狗粮和一些残羹剩饭,这些残渣后来被证明了是Spotty在这一周里给Brownie带去的每一餐食物。
Spotty按时去探望Brownie,它牺牲了自己的舒适生活,以单纯的关心给予它朋友生活下去的勇气。 Spotty还常常和Brownie待在一起保护它免受野兽的伤害,在夜晚和它紧紧依偎在一起,给予它温暖,用鼻子蹭它爱抚它,使它能始终保持清醒。
