阅读理解。
They're best friends. They go to school together every day. They often go to the shopping mall at
weekends. Both of them have hair the colour of honey (蜂蜜), but one has big blue eyes and the other deep
brown eyes.
One of the friends, Jenny Siegle, is in a wheelchair. The other, Augie, is an amazing dog who helps Jenny.
Jenny, who is 14 years old, is a quadriplegic (四肢瘫痪者), which means she cannot use her arms or legs.
Augie is a Freedom Service dog who is Jenny's arms and legs.
How does Augie do this? In school, he picks up the pencil or notebook that Jenny drops. Jenny is also
training Augie to pull off her jacket so Jenny doesn't have to ask anyone for help.
At home, Augie brings her the newspapers. He even helps clean Jenny's room. When Jenny asks him.
Augie goes to get her parents or sister. Augie also carries his food dish back to Jenny so she can fill it with
dog food. Then Augie puts it back neatly in its place.
At the mall, Augie wears a pack that tells everyone he is a Freedom Service dog. When Jenny wants to
buy things, Augie carries them to the counter (柜台). He gives the cashier Jenny's wallet and waits for the
change (找零).
P. J. Roche, who started Freedom Service Dogs, says, "These dogs are a social bridge, Kids who don't
know Jenny come up to talk to her because she's got a dog." Augie is truly Jenny's best friend and helper
and her bridge to the world.
