The trainer said, “Buddy will help you walk safely.”

She took a few steps and felt happy.

On Monday, Lina and Buddy went to school.
Students looked at them with curiosity.
A boy asked, “Can I pet him?”
Lina said, “He is working now. Maybe later.”

Buddy helped Lina go to class, the playground, and the library.
Lina felt safe with him.

One rainy day, Lina and Buddy walked home.
A big tree branch fell on the sidewalk.
Lina stopped. “Buddy, what do we do?”

Buddy gently moved Lina to the side.
He guided her around the branch.
Lina said, “Thank you, Buddy.

Every day, Lina and Buddy learned together.
Lina trusted Buddy more and more.

One afternoon, Lina sat with Buddy in the park.
She said, “You are my friend.”
Buddy put his head on her lap.
Their friendship was special.
