　　 My husband and I were taking care of Lizzy, our daughter Melanie's pet dog, on April 17 while Melanie was in the early stage of labour at the hospital. We received a text from our son-in-law, Joe Levanti, that Melanie was about to give birth. Tom and I sprang from our chairs suddenly. It's a tradition in our immediate family to wait at the hospital for a birth. This would be Melanie and Joe's first child.

　　"You take Lizzy out before we leave, and I'll be waiting for you in the car!" I told Tom. I started the car and waited impatiently. I saw my husband walk out of the front door- but then out shot Lizzy and she was running down the street at great speed.

　　My husband ran after the dog, and I followed in my car. "Lizzy! Lizzy!" we shouted as fear filled our heart. We chased her up and down our Bellwood Avenue. "She's running onto Wireless Road!" we both screamed with fear. Lizzy dashed back and forth in the busy street. My husband kept up his chase on foot. I shouted to my husband, "Tom! Be careful when you cross the street!"

　　Within minutes, traffic was actually stopped on Wireless Road. A half-dozen good people got out of their cars to help. Soon, she ran into a safer area and then back to our street. With the help of six strangers, we caught her within a few anxious minutes. Everyone cheered, and we thanked the helpers again and again.

　　With Lizzy safely back inside, we drove straight to the hospital and were able to see our daughter in the delivery room. My husband and I are forever grateful to the strangers who might have saved Lizzy's life and who enabled us to be there at the beginning of a precious new one.

　　4．Why was the author going to the hospital?

A．Because she didn't feel herself that day.
