Although my house was already full of cats and?dogs, I still couldn’t resist an occasional visit to the shelter. This time as I was walking down the row of pens?full of barking dogs I noticed a small boy looking into one of them. He had a malnourished（营养不良的） looking body and a bony face with a big?nose sticking out of the middle of it. He was looking at a small, golden dog. Its bony ribs were?showing and its thin tail was folded between its legs. It wasn’t begging?for attention like the other puppies but was hiding in the corner?instead. The boy looked up at me with sad eyes and asked what was wrong?with it. “It was probably abused and abandoned”, I said. “That is why it?is so scared.” The boy immediately turned to an older lady and said, “Grandma, I want?this one.” The old woman smiled and walked to the front desk to fill out?the adoption forms. I followed and asked about the boy. I found out that?he’d had a rough start in life too. She had just gotten custody（监护权） of him?after the state had taken him from his parents. She had hoped getting a?dog would make it easier on him. I looked back at him, holding his scared?puppy, and said a prayer for them both. It was yesterday. I was driving down the road enjoying a gloriously sunny,?spring day. Then in a green front yard I saw the boy. His teenage body was?tall and strong. His nose no longer seemed big but fit well into his?smiling face. He was throwing a ball to a healthy, happy dog with shining?golden hair. His little act of love and kindness had indeed gone a long?way. It had saved a dog’s life, healed his own heart, and given this?middle-aged man fresh hope for us all. 26. The author entered the animal shelter because ____________ . A. he loves dogs and pets B. it was too cold outside C. he wanted to buy a dog D. he wanted to see the boy
