It only imitated the keyboard clicking away in Miss Wright’s quiet office. (Annoying!)

But as she typed, the dog rested quietly on the floor beside her and Miss Wright was not as lonely.
When Miss Wright stopped typing, the dog sat up, put his head on her desk, and looked at the computer screen to see what she had written.
Together, he and Miss Wright would take a long walk so they could think of better ideas.
He fetched a thesaurus and a dictionary. He waited as Miss Wright chose some fancier words and corrected her spelling mistakes.
