8．She showed up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall．No way could I have sent her away．Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before．People always find all sorts of excuses for abandoning（遺棄） an animal．And she was one of the most beautiful animals I had ever seen，a beautiful golden retriever．
I called her Goldie．She was so unsettled during those first few days and hardly ate anything．There was nothing I could do to make her happy，it seemed．Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owner's．But at the end of the first week she calmed down and became as loving as an animal could be．From then on she was always by my side，whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting close by the fire．
That's why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for a walk．We were a long way from home when she started barking（吠叫） and getting very excited．Finally I couldn't hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as her legs could carry her．
By the time I reached the farm I was exhausted and very angry with Goldie．But when I saw her licking（舔） the four baby dogs，my heart melted（融化）．"We didn't know what had happened to her，"said the woman at the door．"I took her for a walk one day，soon after the baby dogs were born，and she just disappeared．""She must have tried to come back to them and got lost，"added a boy from behind her．
I must admit I do miss Goldie，but I've got Nugget now，and she looks just like her mother．
