几千年前,当社会组织还处于畜牧阶段的时候,人们饲养狗是因为他们能看守绵羊和其他草食动物,避免它们跑出牧羊人的视线——同时,它们也急切地渴望着“主人”去宰杀这些反刍动物,然后扔块骨头给它们。
As if a loyal pup’s wagging tail and playful pouncing when we arrive home each night isn’t enough to cement their friendship with us forever – let’s not forget that when buildings crumble in quakes or the sightless try and negotiate a busy intersection, it’s not the cats and goldfish that are called to duty.
每天晚上当我们回到家时,忠诚的小狗崽都会摇着尾巴欢快地扑过来,如果这还不够巩固人犬之间永恒的友谊的话,别忘了,房屋建筑在地震中倒塌,盲人试图穿过繁忙的十字路口时,来帮忙的可不是猫和金鱼。
