续写题目:狗与主人再团圆
My family moved from Toowoomba, Canada to London in 1950. My mother was in great pain from the 1950s epidemic of polio (小儿麻痹症). She wished to visit specialists in London. The day before we boarded the ship, Father bade a tender farewell to his five-year-old “friend” at the dock(码头), an Australian cattle dog, Spider, who was loved by us all. Father’s friend Sandy was to be his guardian while we were overseas.
Six weeks later, a letter arrived from Sandy, giving my father the news that Spider had run away just two weeks after we had sailed. I will always remember my father's face crumbling and his eyes glistening as he read the letter. We tried to comfort him, knowing in our hearts how useless this was. Sandy has advertised constantly on ABC radio and other local newspapers. Despite some “sightings” in the dock at first, the dog was never found later. It seems Spider decided to search for us elsewhere.
We sailed back two years later and re-established our home in Toowoomba. My father immediately began his own searching for Spider. Several months passed but there was still no news concerning Spider. The dog was gone, possibly shot or dead from starvation or exhaustion.
One cold morning eight months after our return, my father had a call from an old lady who said she was putting food out “for a very old dog”. In the night the food disappeared. This had been going on for a few weeks. That was enough for my father to interrupt my homework and we set off immediately. When we arrived at the old lady’s house, she invited us into an old bush. Sadly, she then told us that the “dingo dog” hadn’t been around for a few days. My father had a strange look in his eye. He put two fingers to his lips and did his special whistle (口哨)for Spider.
Paragraph1: Suddenly there was a bark in the bush.

Suddenly there was a bark in the bush. “It must be Spider!” my father yelled excitedly. And the next moment he was out in the bush, following the sound of the bark. Curiously, I followed my father’s footsteps, praying that some miracle would come up. Yes, there in the bush lay a dog, skinny and hungry, And it was our Spider, the dog we had been missing badly and looking for madly. He struggled to his feet, approached us and threw himself into my father’s arms, which made his eyes moisten. As if finding back his long-lost treasure, my father scooped up the dog, put it into the car and, with heartfelt gratitude to the old lady, headed back home.
From then on, Spider and my father would hang out at the dock. Both my father and Spider enjoyed the moments together. Every morning, they would greet the new day together, watching the sun rising beyond the horizon and the ships sailing out of the hustling harbor. And towards the evening, they would embrace the last ray of the sunlight disappearing behind the horizon and watch ships coming in for a quiet night. Day in and day out, Spider was gradually back on his feet with my father’s care and their bond seemed to be strengthening. Deep down at heart, my father promised to himself that he would never leave his Spider alone again no matter what happened. And he would accompany Spider till the end of the world.

Suddenly there was a sound in the bush. Out of the growth flew this battered dog right into my father's arms. Spider had leaped over the tennis court fence with great force and certainty. My father's eyes shone, and the old lady and I stood there with tears in our eyes. He kept licking my father's face and making choking noises. He smelt dreadful. We wrapped him in an old blanket and I held him on my lap on the way back. He never once took his eyes off my father as we drove home. Every so often I received a lick of gratefulness.
From then on, Spider and my father would hang out at the dock.Once home we had the task of getting all the prickles off him. Before he was put in a tin tub, we gently cleaned him up with soap. Spider stood stoically through all this as my father also examined his teeth and ears. Spider spent the rest of his days years on the front porch, content and satisfied, always in wait for my sister and me coming home from school where he would give us a lot of licks to make sure we were all right. He then waited for my father by the garage door. We never left him anywhere alone again.

My father jumped out of his seat and ran outside.We heard him calling Spider's name, We waited nervously inside, praying that Spider would come back to us, After a few minutes, we heard my father's voice again, louder and more excited this time. He came back inside, holding a thin and ragged-looking Spider in his arms.The dog had a few cuts and scratches on his face and legs, but he was alive. We were overjoyed to see Spider again.
From then on, Spider and my father would hang out at the dock. They would walk along the beach and watch the ships come in and out of the harbor. Spider enjoyed this routine and my father would tell him stories about all the experiences he had while he was away. Spider was always by his side, faithful and loyal as ever. They had been through so much, but years and vast distances couldn't break their bond. Spider found his way back to us against all odds. We were grateful to have him back, and we knew that he would always be a cherished member of our family.
