I could have easily gone through life without getting to know one of the most romantic feelings---love for a dog.
For at least ten years my __
36 _ had been suggesting that we get a dog. There were several reasons why the idea
_37_ . We had noticed that, on our block, couples with no children as a rule
38_ one large or two small dogs. So we got one puppy
39_ we too had no children.
He flew into the house with the
40 of a Formula 1 (一级方程式赛车). In several minutes he ran over all the house,
41 from my shoulder onto the bed, and ended up in the
42 , where my wife washed him with motherly
43 . From that day on, the invisible（看不见的）
_44 for the love of the new member of our household began at my home.
He seemed to
45 that at once. Most of the meals that my wife had _
46 for him with greater care than those for me---he didn’t
47 look at.
Every evening I went out walking with him. I could not know who was walking whom _
48_ one evening, when, tired from work, I
49 the walk. The dog was very angry and dragged me out.

52 that I had forgotten to switch off the light, but that was not
53 . He looked at me like a teacher at a pupil who repeatedly makes _
54 .
Now we finally know who’s the_
55 at home, and for twenty years we had seriously argued whether it was my wife or I.
