It's about 250 miles from the hills of west-central Iowa to Ehlers' home in Minnesota. During the long trip home, following a weekend of hunting, Ehlers         1       about the small dog he had seen         2       alongside the road. He had         3       to coax（哄）the dog to him but, frightened, it had         4       .

Back home, Ehlers was troubled by that         5       dog. So, four days later, he called his friend Greg, and the two drove         6       . After a long and careful         7       . Greg saw, across a field, the dog moving         8       away. Ehlers eventually succeeded in coaxing the animal to him. Nervousness and fear were replaced with         9       . It just started licking（舔）Ehlers' face.

A local farmer told them the dog sounded like one         10       as lost in the local paper. The ad had a         11       number for a town in southern Michigan. Ehlers         12       the number of Jeff and Lisa to tell them he had         13       their dog.

Jeff had         14       in Iowa before Thanksgiving with his dog, Rosie, but the gun shots had scared the dog off. Jeff searched         15       for Rosie in the next four days.

Ehlers returned to Minnesotan, and then drove 100 miles to Minneapolis to put Rosie on a flight to Michigan. "It's good to know there's still someone out there who         16       enough to go to that kind of         17       ," says Lisa of Ehlers' rescue         18       .

I figured whoever lost the dog was probably just as         19       to it as I am to my dogs," says Ehlers. "If it had been my dog, I'd hope that somebody would be         20       to go that extra mile."
