One morning, Ann’s neighbor Tracy found a lost dog wandering around the local elementary school. She asked Ann if she could keep an eye on the dog. Ann said that she could watch it only for the day.
  Tracy took photos of the dog and printed off 400 FOUND fliers（传单）, and put them in mailboxes. Meanwhile, Ann went to the dollar store and bought some pet supplies, warning her two sons not to fall in love with the dog. At the time, Ann’s son Thomas was 10 years old, and Jack, who was recovering from a heart operation, was 21 years old.
  Four days later Ann was still looking after the dog, whom they had started to call Riley. When she arrived home from work, the dog threw itself against the screen door and barked madly at her. As soon as she opened the door, Riley dashed into the boys’ room where Ann found Jack suffering from a heart attack. Riley ran over to Jack, but as soon as Ann bent over to help him the dog went silent.
  “If it hadn’t come to get me, the doctor said Jack would have died,” Ann reported to a local newspaper. At this point, no one had called to claim the dog, so Ann decided to keep it.
  The next morning Tracy got a call. A man named Peter recognized his lost dog and called the number on the flier. Tracy started crying, and told him, “That dog saved my friend’s son.”
  Peter drove to Ann’s house to pick up his dog, and saw Thomas and Jack crying in the window. After a few moments Peter said, “Maybe Odie was supposed to find you, maybe you should keep it.”

【长难句解析】
1.One morning, Ann’s neighbor Tracy found a lost dog wandering around the local elementary school.
【翻译】一天早晨，Ann的邻居Tracy发现一只迷路的小狗在当地的一所小学周围徘徊。
【分析】本句中found a lost dog wandering around the local elementary school是一个“动词+宾语+宾语补足语”的结构，其中的宾语补足语wandering around the local elementary school是对宾语a lost dog的情况进行的说明，因为动词wander与a lost dog之间构成主动关系，所以使用现在分词短语。
2. Meanwhile, Ann went to the dollar store and bought some pet supplies, warning her two sons not to fall in love with the dog.
【翻译】同时，Ann还去了商店买了狗粮，警告两个儿子不要喜欢上这只狗。
【分析】本句中谓语动词是由并列结构went to the dollar store 和 bought some pet supplies组成的，现在分词短语warning her two sons not to fall in love with the dog在句中充当伴随状语，因为warn与Ann构成主动关系，所以使用现在分词的形式。
