Liz Smith is unable to use her arms or legs. She has difficulties answering the phone, opening and shutting doors or carrying things. One day, her friend asked her to get a dog- helper from the “ Animal Helpers”, which is set up to help disabled people. After training, she brought the dog home. It is named Lucky because she feels lucky to have him. Lucky can fetch the book for Liz and even understand difficult words like “upstairs’. He really helps a lot. So she wrote this letter to thank Miss Li for donating the money to “Animal Helpers”.
