What is the kindest thing a pet has done for you? 宠物为你做过什么最好的事? My dog gave her life to save my son. 我的狗为了救我儿子献出了生命。 Cindy, my dog, was six years old and she was the most home-loving and obedient dog. I loved her and she knew it. When my son was born, she was immediately very protective over him. She’d sit beside his pram for hours, popping her front legs up onto the pram every now and then to make sure he was ok. 我的狗Cindy当时6岁,它最爱这个家最温驯。我爱它,它也知道。我儿子出生时它马上开始当起了保镖。它会在他的婴儿车旁坐几个小时,偶尔把前腿伸到婴儿车上试探我儿子是否没事。 My son was almost three years old. We lived near a busy road and we were super vigilant at always child-proofing the front door - without exception. 我儿子差不多三岁时,我们家附近一条路上车很多,我们一直很警惕不让孩子出前门——从无例外。 One morning, around 4 am, our son somehow managed to ‘escape’ through his bedroom window. Cindy knew not to go outside (apart from the garden) without us. She also knew that our son wasn't allowed to go through the front door without us, evidenced by her pushing at him if he fiddled with the front door handle. She didn't know that it was double locked. This day, she followed my son through the window. |
