(2026·湖北武汉江岸区期末)It is a long night. Our dog, Lucky, is having puppies. After six hours, the puppies finally start to arrive. I count five puppies and think everything is okay.
When we come back, we see the sixth puppy alone in the cage. Judy notices something is wrong. The puppy has a cleft lip and palate(唇颚裂), which means it can't close its mouth or suckle(吸奶). The vet(a doctor for animals) says the puppy will cost a lot, and it might not live. We don't have enough money,

. I feed it with a syringe(注射器) every two hours for over 10 days. The puppy slowly learns to eat soft food.
After five weeks, we find homes for all the puppies except(除了) the one with the cleft lip.
One day, our neighbour, an old lady, asks if she can have a puppy for her grandson. When they arrive, I tell her all the puppies are taken. Just then, the little puppy with the cleft lip starts to yelp(叫). The boy, who also has a cleft lip, runs to the puppy, calling it "my puppy". He looks up at his grandmother and says, "Look, Grandma! They find homes for all the puppies except the pretty one, and he looks just like me."
The lady asks if she can have the puppy. I say yes. The boy holds the puppy happily.
The picture of the boy and his puppy still stays with me. I think it must be a wonderful feeling for any young person to look in the mirror and see nothing except "the pretty one".
