12、een my entire world for 14 years, I dont know what Ill do without him,” she said with tears in her eyes. She wasnt talking about a person. She was talking about Toby, her King Charles spaniel. Mrs. Reid had come into hospital after shed fallen. She had Parkinsons disease, meaning her ability to move
13、 was worsening. It was the second time shed fallen in just a few weeks, and this time shed broken her hip. While the hip had now been fixed, it was clear that she was too frail (脆弱的) to go home, and the social workers had arranged for her to go into a care home. A neighbor had been looking after Tob
14、y, but with Mrs. Reid no longer going home and as she had no family who could take him, it looked likely that hed have to be killed.

18、providers to accept pets belonging to elderly people, studies have shown that around 70 per cent of care homes in the UK forbid elderly people from bringing pets. This figure has risen in recent years and is likely to be due to increasing concerns around “health and safety”. However, research has co
19、ncluded that they are “necessary to elderly peoples quality of life” and that having to move to care homes without their pets was psychologically similar to losing their family. It seems outrageous (可耻的) that care homeswhose purpose is to ensure the elderly peoples welfare (福利)are able to deny them
