He also works on movies and TV shows with all kinds of animals, including cats, pigs, sheep, snakes and rats. His retired (退役的) actors, including 30 dogs that have acted in shows such as “Annie” and “Oliver!” live with him and his wife on a farm in Connecticut.Berloni's main playmates as a kid were his dog, cat and rabbit, but he says he never thought he would become a professional (职业的) animal trainer. He wanted to be an actor. But while working as an assistant for the pre-Broadway production of “Annie” in 1976, he was given the job of finding a dog to play Sandy.Berloni visited an animal shelter (收容所), where lost dogs and other pets are kept until they are adopted (收养). Shelters take in a lot of animals — so many that some shelters kill pets that aren't quickly adopted. “I didn't know that animals were killed,” says Berloni, who ended upadopting a dog on the day it was supposed to be put down.The dog, which Berloni named Sandy, turned out to be a perfect fit for the show after a little training. The pair learned from each other, with Berloni becoming better and better as a trainer. Sandy starred in almost all of the show's 2,377 Broadway performances and enjoyed retirement on Berloni's farm when the production's first Broadway run ended in 1983.Since then, Berloni has made a point of finding all his dogs at shelters. Nessa is one of his dogs who plays Toto in “The Wizard of Oz”. After about a year of working together, Berloni and Nessa are like old friends. She's happy to lie on his leg, even when she's not performing. Nessa gets prizes in return f or performing, but “Love is the big motivator (动力),” Berloni says.49. What do we know about Berloni?A.

As a reward, we could choose our next money box from a small variety, and start the whole savings routine again. Every week I watched my parents sort out the housekeeping and “make ends meet”. Sometimes it was annoying to wait for things we really felt we needed.Later, as a university student, I managed on an extremely small student allowance.Students were ignored by banks then, because we were so poor, and there was no way I could have gotten credit, even if I had tried. We collected our allowance three times each year, deposited it to the best advantage and withdrew it little by little to last until the next payout of the allowance.When our daughter, Sophie, began to walk, we made a purposeful choice to encourage her to use money wisely. We often comment when the TV tells us “You owe it to yourself to borrow ourmoney"to whom do we really owe it? And what would happen if our income were reduced or drie d up?
