After six months of training with a dog at Animal Helper
s, I was able to bring him home. My dog?s name is Lucky
— a good name for him because I feel very lucky to hav
e him. You see, I?m only able to have a “dog-
helper” because of your kindness! Lucky is very clever an
d understands many English words. He can understand
me when I give him orders. For example, I say, “Lucky! G
et my book,” and he does it at once.
Lucky is a fantastic dog. I?ll send you a photo of him if y
ou like, and I could show you how he helps me. Thank yo
u again for changing my life.
Best wishes, Ben Smith

Could you please take the dog for a walk?” she asked.
“Could I watch one show first?” I asked. “NO!” she replie
d angrily. “You watch TV all the time and never help out
around the house! I can?t work all day and do housewor
k all evening.” “Well, I work all day at school, too! I?m jus
t as tired as you are!” I shouted back.
My mom did not say anything and walked away. For one
week, she did not do any housework and neither did I. Fi
nally, I could not find a clean dish or a clean shirt.
The next day, my mom came home from work to find th
e house clean and tidy. “What happened?” she asked in s
urprise.
“I?m so sorry, Mom. I finally understand that we need to
share the housework to have a clean and comfortable ho
me,” I replied. P22 2b Dear Sir,
I don?t understand why some parents make their kids he
lp with housework and chores at home. Kids these days a
lready have enough stress from school. They don?t have
time to study and do housework, too. Housework is a wa
ste of their time. Could we just let them do their job as st
udents? They should spend their time on schoolwork in o
