VI.Summary writing-|||-of something we'd like to attain or something we'd-|||-like to abandon.-|||-One of my greatest teachers these days is my-|||-dog,Angel.He appeared on our doorstep a year-|||-ago-a tiny wet black bundle of fur.It had been-|||-raining all week and he stayed by the doorstep-|||-trying to stay dry and get warm.I brought him in-|||-and put a sign up on the street to let his human-|||-family know he had been found.No one claimed-|||-him,though.He was named Angel since I felt he-|||-had been brought to my doorstep by angels to-|||-serve as my teacher,my friend,my playmate,and-|||-my guardian angel.-|||-In the year that he's been with us he has taught-|||-me many things.He reminds me to take time to-|||-play,to go out in the fresh air and walk(or in his-|||-case,run like the wind).He demonstrates passion-|||-for life,and he has a great capacity for joy,for-|||-excitement,for pleasure.He reminds me when-|||-I've been working too many hours in a row that-|||-it's time to take a break.He shows me by example-|||-that one must drink a lot of water.He eats only-|||-when hungry,a few mouthfuls at a time and then-|||-goes on to something else.He gets so excited-|||-when something wonderful is coming his way.-|||-Even the routine of a morning walk gets him so-|||-excited he jumps for joy.He's given new meaning-|||-to that expression-he jumps, twirls,and is so-|||-excited to go for a morning walk-while I am-|||-barely awake, and going for a walk not only-|||-because I"should"but because I "have to"take-|||-him out.What a difference in attitude.-|||-Such is Angel,who has demonstrated to me,-|||-day after day,the importance of loving life and-|||-living life to the fullest.From Angel,I learn.
