This time as I was walking down the row of pensfull of barking dogs I noticed a small boy looking into one of them. He had a malnourished（营养不良的） looking body and a bony face with a bignose sticking out of the middle of it. He was looking at a small, golden dog. Its bony ribs wereshowing and its thin tail was folded between its legs. It wasnt beggingfor attention like the other puppies but was hiding in the cornerinstead. The boy looked up at me with sad eyes and asked what was wrongwith it. “It was probably abused and abandoned”, I said. “That is why itis so scared.”The boy immediately turned to an older lady and said, “Grandma, I wantthis one.” The old woman smiled and walked to the front desk to fill outthe adoption forms. I followed and asked about the boy. I found out thathed had a rough start in life too. She had just gotten custody（监护权） of himafter the state had taken him from his parents.
