what would happen to Lucky? Although the three-year-old dog liked Jim, he was Mary’s dog through and through. “If
I die, Lucky will be abandoned,” Mary thought, “He won’t understand that I didn’t want to leave him.” The thought
made her sadder than that of her own death.
⑤ The double mastectomy was harder on Mary than her doctors had anticipated and Mary was hospitalized for
over two weeks. Jim faithfully took Lucky for his evening walk, but the little dog just hung down, whining(哀鸣)
and miserable.
⑥ Finally the day came for Mary to leave the hospital. When she arrived home, Mary was so exhausted that she
couldn’t even make it up the steps to her bedroom. Jim made his wife comfortable on the couch and left her to nap.
⑦ Lucky stood watching Mary but he didn’t come to her when she called. It made Mary sad but sleep soon
overcame her and she dozed.
⑧ When Mary woke, for a second she couldn’t understand what was wrong. She couldn’t move her head and her
body felt heavy and hot. But panic soon gave way to laughter when Mary realized the problem. She was covered,
literally blanketed, with every treasure Lucky owned!
⑨ While she had slept, the sad dog had made trip after trip to the basement bringing his beloved mistress all his
favorite things in life. He had covered her with his love.
⑩ Mary forgot about dying. Instead, she and Lucky began living again, walking further and further together
every day.
⑾ It’s been 12 years now and Mary is still cancer-free. Lucky? He still steals treasures and stores them secretly in
his toy box, but Mary remains his greatest treasure.
