Q8: 'The Lost Dog' - Read the passage aloud

While walking home, Ava saw a dog sitting alone near the park. It had no collar and looked scared. She approached slowly and offered water from her bottle. The dog drank and wagged its tail. Ava called her mum, who contacted the local shelter. A worker arrived and scanned the dog’s microchip. 'We found the owner,' she said. Ava waited until the family arrived. They hugged the dog and thanked her. 'You’re a hero,' said the mum. Ava smiled, happy to help. It was a moment she’d never forget.
