Ginny the Dog: A Hero Among Heroes

Heroes come in many shapes and forms, but they all do uncommon things in unusual situations. They stand out. We've all heard stories of hero dogs that save their owners. One dog saved his owner by fighting off an alligator. Another woke his sleeping family when a fire broke out in its home. Still others rescue injured or needy people in dangerous situations. One dog even managed to call 911 when his owner suffered a seizure. But one dog, named Ginny, performed heroic acts on a regular basis, not just once or twice in unusual situations. Because of her kindness, many lives were saved.

Ginny the dog was adopted by her owner from an animal shelter in 1990. Within days of bringing her home, her owner discovered that Ginny seemed to be able to find cats in distress. On her daily walks, Ginny would often find abandoned, trapped, or endangered kittens or cats that needed rescuing. In one such episode, Ginny found a group of kittens trapped in a pipe. She managed to let her owner know, by scratching and barking at the pipe, that something needed her help. Because of Ginny, all the kittens were saved.

Almost daily, Ginny would find cats that needed rescuing or, in some cases, a little love. Ginny's owner reported that when Ginny saw a cat on their walks, she would pull away from her leash and run after the cat. Instead of chasing cats like most dogs, Ginny would nuzzle and lick them, giving them comfort. Because of Ginny, her owner soon found he was caring for hundreds of wild neighborhood cats. In addition, Ginny pushed her owner to adopt more than 20 cats, most of whom had permanent injuries or special needs.

"When we would go to the pound to drop off donations," her owner said, "Ginny always found the cat that was blind or deaf or hurt in some way. She would sit down in front of the cat's crate and not move until we brought it home."

What makes a dog behave in such a kind way? Some believe Ginny had a very strong mothering instinct. But how could she tell when a cat was deaf? How did she know which cats needed love and attention? Regardless of how she did it, Ginny rescued hundreds of cats in her life and set an example we all can follow.

Based on details from the essay, what do we know about Ginny?

Ginny gave her life to help those in need, including humans.
Ginny gave her owner much pleasure during her life.
Ginny looked for and rescued cats that needed help.
Ginny was dedicated to saving all types of animals.

blew the whistle. A foul was called and now Derrick had a chance to win the game for us. He stepped up
to the free-throw line. The stadium, though filled with people, was completely silent. Everyone was still.
Derrick dribbled the ball a couple times. He squared up on the line. Sweat beaded on his forehead. All

In 1827, John Walker, a druggist in a small English town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. The druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. It is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. Although Walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. It could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. In a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. The match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. It would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. This was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar., a druggist in a small English town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame.

Walking is not the most exciting form of exercise a person can take on for fitness. Yet it is low impact and requires no fancy equipment. That makes walking a simple
activity for those new to exercise. Walking is less likely than other exercises to cause injury to leg tendons and muscles. All it requires is a good pair of sneakers—no
cables, stylish outfits, or weights required. Of course, a person could
increase the benefit of a workout by adding weights or speed walking.
Which of the following lists represents text evidence pieces that all support the main idea in this paragraph?
O Walking is fun to do, less likely to cause injury, requires good sneakers.
O Walking is easy to start, not worth the time for fit people, needs weights.
O Walking is not exciting needs weights to make it beneficial, safest exercise.
Walking is low impact, requires no faſ sy equipment, less likely to cause injury.

Hated by his kind and by mankind, indomitable, perpetually warred upon and himself waging perpetual war, his development was rapid and one-sided. This was no soil for kindliness and affection to blossom in. Of such things he had not the faintest glimmering. The code he learned was to obey the strong and to oppress the weak. Grey Beaver was a god, and strong. Therefore White Fang obeyed him. But the dog younger or smaller than himself was weak, a thing to be destroyed.

Darla and Nadia had been roommates for all four years in college. They developed such a close friendship that when graduation time arrived, it went without saying that they would find an apartment together.
All went well until Darla and Nadia applied for the same job and both landed an interview. The night before Nadia’s interview, Darla snuck into Nadia’s room and turned off her alarm clock. When Nadia found out what Darla had done, she yelled in disbelief, “How could you do such a thing?” As Nadia slammed her door shut, a picture of the two of them fell to the floor and shattered into hundreds of pieces. The next day, Darla moved out.
