Tabby was an ancient Cooker Spaniel, probably 14 years old. What's more, she was blind and deaf. Tabby's chances of adoption seemed small. We all thought that Tabby would live out the rest of her life at the ______.

One day a woman named Loretta came to the shelter. Her son, Gary, was interested in Tabby! What could a young child possibly see in a 14-year-old dog who was both blind and deaf? Most boys would want a dog who could grow with them and ______ through grassy fields on summer days. Tabby would ______ be able to do that. But after meeting her, Loretta and Gary decided that she was the right dog for their family. They adopted Tabby!

If Tabby′s story simply ended with her ______ adoption, it would still have been something very special indeed. ______, it was what happened after her adoption that people might think to be "magic". Gary had seizures (癫痫).Since Gary and Tabby met, they have been friends. They became so "in tune" with one another that Tabby began to tell Gray's seizures ______ they appeared, giving his family a(n) ______ that one was about to strike (到达). What's more, Gary seemed to be having fewer and fewer seizures since Tabby arrived.

How could it be? Nobody could explain ______ Tabby did it. But those of us who were lucky enough to know her family and witnessed the magic, know that it has its roots in love.
