【正文】 on. She39。d heard about some people who were setting up a tool library—a nonprofit facility that would lend out tools just as a regular library lends books. Might Dad be interested in donating his? I said yes, Dave says. The people creating the St. Paul Tool Library were thrilled. They had expected it would take a year to collect enough tools to make their facility fully functional. Instead it took one day: the day Dave donated his. The library39。s founders drove over to the Merrys39。 house and picked everything up themselves. The library is housed in the basement of the American Can Factory. Members pay an annual fee (from $20 to $120) for unlimited tool use and a varying number of visits to the workshop. And they get an extra benefit: Dave Merry. Almost every time we39。re open, Dave39。s here, says one of the founders, Peter Hoh. It means a lot to me to be able to go and use my tools, Dave says. But it means just as much to help DIYers use the tools properly. As Hoh puts it, This is his workshop now.（1）What do we know about Dave Merry?

Something in the distance moving among the trees had caught her attention. It turned out to be a sandycolored fivemonthold puppy. He was really thin, ribs showing, and a broken leg, Little told John Parks, a reporter from CBS News. The cyclists fed the friendly pup and shared their water. They also quickly realized that the dog was ing with them, although they had no idea how. They were more than seven miles from downtown and riding bikes. We couldn39。t leave him, Little said. Out there next to the Oxbow Meadows, he was going to bee the lunch of an alligator living in the river. Suddenly, Little had an idea. He carefully picked up his new friend and slipped the 38pound dog39。s hind legs (后肢) into the back pockets of his cycling jacket. Then he hung the dog39。s front paws over his shoulders. He was injured, so he wasn39。t trying to fight, Little says. He was also happy that we were there, touching him, and hadn39。t taken off on him. The group39。s 30minute ride into town ended at a bike store, where they got more water and food for the dog. That was when Andrea Shaw, an accountant from Maine in town on business, happened by. The dog made a headed straight for her, licking and loving on her, says Dixon. Shaw was struck and, after learning what had happened, declared her intentions: I am keeping this dog. Shaw called him Columbo and scheduled an operation on his leg. Today, Columbo is living the high life on a farm with a horse, a pony, a sixyearold boy, to keep him pany. As Dixon told John Parks, He is literally the luckiest dog alive.（1）Why did Little say they couldn39。t leave the dog behind?
