The intro 

(Listening Comprehension)

Yo, what's up ? It's Mr.Wong here. If you like dogs, here's a heart touching story about dogs. Here we go :

Dogs are the literal best and let me tell you why. When my parents're out of town, my puppy Remmy sleeps downstairs with me. I don't mind because the basement is chilly sometimes and he's a fuzzy little space heater. But he always does this weird thing and I didn't figure out why until last night. I'm a stomach-sleeper, while the rest of the family are back-sleepers. So Remmy has taken up this very different behavior with me.(my family says he doesn't do it with them.) It always takes me a while to settle down, but when I do, Remmy takes his head off of his paws and rests it square in the center of my back. So I'm thinking, "What's the point of that ?" It can't be comfortable ! It cranes his neck in a funny way, and besides, everytime I breathe his head goes up and down.That's a weird thing.

So I formulate a hypothesis, and test it. Last night, I got comfortable, Remmy put his head on my back, I waited a while, then I held my breath. It took him a while to react, but when he did, he freaking lost it. He started whining and yipping, and repeatedly licking my face and hands. And I was like, oh my god !

The conclusion was：my dog noticed that I slept in a way that was different from the rest of the family, and thought, "this kid is gonna die" and made sure that I never stopped breathing in the middle of the night. Dogs are smart as hell. What a wonderful animal ! So what do you guys think ? Dogs are awesome right ? Ok, let's talk about the word of the day, which has nothing to do with the story, haha ! So the word of the day is "viable". Check it out !
