We have neighbors whose adult son has been living with them since (1) (lose) his job over 5 years ago. He is the 5th child of 6 and he has struggled throughout his life.
His dog died in early July and the loss has affected him (2) (deep). He built his daily life around the do walks and made relationships in the neighborhood with other dog (3) (walk).
His parents do not want him to get another dog because they want his schedule to be more flexible (4) (find) a job and want him not to worry about walking the dog. It is (5) hard situation. I can see he is depressed and lonely without his dog.
First I tried to help by including him with my family for walks with our dogs. Then I (6) (think) maybe something else would help.
So I drove him to the local humane society, (7) is a direct and fairly short bus ride from his place, and he agreed ___ (8) (volunteer) to help walk and love the animals there. He refused at first but after only one week he has already told us about (9) much they need his help. He seems to have a purpose. I am pleased that he got himself out and I am more pleased that he feels (10) (use) and valued. That is so important for all of us.
