Three days later,a hurricane hit the coast near Cornwall.Mr.Holden returned home from his holiday upset and convinced his pet was dead. He comforted himself with the thought she had died in the most beautiful part of the country.
For the next two weeks,the Holdens were heartbroken.Then,one day,the phone rang and Steve Tregear, the coastguard of Cornwall,asked Holden if he would like his dog back.
A birdwatcher,armed with a telescope,found the pet sitting desperately on a rock.While he sounded the alarm,a student from Leeds climbed down the cliff to collect Judy.
The dog had initially been knocked unconscious(失去知觉的)but had survived by drinking water from a fresh stream at the base of the cliff.She may have fed on the body of a sheep which had also fallen over the edge.“The dog was very thin and hungryear said.“It was a very lucky dog.She survived because of a plentiful supply of fresh water,”he added.
It was,as Mr.Holden admitted,“a minor miracle(奇迹)”.________. B.caught in a hurricanefrom the text?
