A veterinarian in a white coat kneels beside a large dog lying on a low metal table. She is winding a bandage around the dog's front leg. A teenager stands at the head of the table with both hands on the dog's shoulders, holding it still. A roll of tape and a clipboard sit on a shelf behind them.
Look at the picture. Then choose the word that best completes the sentence about it.
The teenager ______ the dog by its shoulders so that the veterinarian can wrap the injured leg.
