I’ll Send You a Photo of Lucky
Dear Miss Li,
I?d like to thank you for sending money to Animal Helpe
rs. I?m sure you know that this group was set up to help
disabled people like me. You helped to make it possible f
or me to have Lucky. Lucky makes a big difference to my
life. Let me tell you my story.
What would it be like to be blind or deaf? Or imagine yo
u can?t walk ou use your hands easily. Most people woul
d never think about this, but many people have these dif
ficulties. I can?t use my arms or legs well, so normal thin
gs like answering the telephone, opening and closing do
ors, or carrying things are difficult for me. Then one day l
ast year, a friend of mine helped me out. She talked to A
nimal Helpers about getting me a special trained dog. Sh
e also thought a dog might cheer me up. I love animals a
nd I was excited about the idea of having a dog.
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
