Dog wants to hold hands – level 1

17-02-2015 15:00

This news is about a dog. Her name is Pinky. She is sick. Doctors operate on her. They remove her ear canal. Pinky is now deaf.

She lives in an animal’s hospital in London. Hospital staff take care of her. The staff notices something about Pinky. She wants to hold hands with people. She absolutely loves it! Somebody must always hold her paw.

Pinky is looking for a family. She needs love.

Difficult words: ear canal (the inside of the ear), deaf (not able to hear), staff (a group of people who somewhere).

You can read the original story and watch the video in the Level 3 section.

Do you like dogs? :-)
