She wants to be a vet and it will look good on her college application .She likes the author and hopes her volunteering will impress him .None of the above choices .She hopes if she volunteers she will get to keep Rusty and impress people .
Why did Laura volunteer to help the author with the animals ?
My volunteer , Laura and I cuddled the little guy in the stall and he enjoyed back scratches , and rooting through the straw , the first time he has probably been able to play in his small , traumatic life . Later , as Laura and I cleaned the chicken coop and de - loused the hens , we could hear Rusty snorting and banging against the stall door , wanting company . I put him back in with Wilma and Willow and he contentedly found a soft place in the straw , and closed his little eyes . Near dusk I spent even more time with Rusty , mixing up some food for him .
