我说道，“尤其是这种事情发生了的时候。”
看到悲痛仍旧浮在他们脸上，我接着告诉他们恐惧也是正常、自然的。
我们就勒马尔谈论了一会儿。
就在这时，我才注意到霍莉在干什么。
她绕着教室走，从一个孩子到另一个孩子，也到老师那里，她把前爪贴在他们膝上，探身舔去他们脸上的泪珠。
孩子们不由地抱住她的背，使劲地用手指揉搓她的毛，要是一天都这样的话，霍莉准会成秃毛狗了。
她并不要求受到极大的关注，只是默默把爱和安慰送给人们。
在那漫长而又痛苦的一天里，霍莉不知疲倦地默默安慰着人们。
那天下午，我钻进汽车前座坐下来，感情的创伤令我身心憔悴。
我只想回家。
我回过头，惊奇地发现霍莉已经在后座睡着了。
她即使不比我更累，也和我一样筋疲力尽。
我的良心再一次受到谴责。
让自己的爱犬承担陷入痛苦的孩子们感情上的责任，这公平吗？她是不是该待在家里，享受宠物那悠闲的生活呢？
这些疑惑，可能说明了为什么有时我早上匆忙准备去学校时，要停下来，不是叫霍莉上车，而是看着她，问道：“今天你想去学校吗？”
当她急切地跳起，摇着尾巴，激动不已时，我想她已经回答了我们急于想要的答案。
是的，霍莉今天上班。
