Teddy is a black dog. To my eyes, she’s a dog of exceptional beauty, and we’ve been together for nearly fifteen years. Teddy and I joy and sorrow with each other. I have never that Teddy would give her life for me without the slightest . I have always our relationship by saying, “We are completely bonded.” I have no idea true this statement was until I was diagnosed with cancer.
Through the stages of my from three operations, Teddy stayed near me, watching my every move. She was clearly anxious and upset when I felt or distressed. I had been able to many of the difficulties so far---the loss of body parts, the side of medication---but the thought of losing my long hair during chemo (化疗) made me . Over a three-week period, handful of hair separated from my itchy scalp (发痒的头皮). Each brought me greater distress. One evening，I sat in a rocking chair, touching my hair and crying sadly. Teddy lay on the floor beside me; suddenly she began to pull at the fur（毛皮） on her tail. I could stop her, she had ripped (扯) out a few clumps（团）.
Teddy’s stopped my tears and self-pity. The next morning, I found Teddy sleeping in a mass of long black hair, no doubt with considerable pain. Her beautiful black now looked like a funny little rat’s tail. Then Teddy looked up at me with her devoted little face. It was she was willing me to feel better. I could almost hear her saying, “If you have to lose your hair, I’m going to lose mine, too.”
Teddy and I both appeared a bit that summer. In the fall, when her winter coat came in, Teddy’s tail quickly began to look better. My hair a bit longer to return, but I never about it again. Sharing my loss with Teddy took the sadness away.
