一名Instagram用户说：“她给我的生活带来了纯粹的快乐，对其他人来说也是如此。”

Lil Bub rose to fame after her adoption in 2011, when her owner, music producer Mike Bridavsky, began posting photos and updates about her online. Her story garnered three million followers on Facebook, 2.4 million on Instagram and more than 800,000 on Twitter.

2011年，莉尔·巴布被收养后声名鹊起，当时她的主人、音乐制作人迈克·布里达夫斯基开始在网上发布她的照片，并更新她的动态。她的故事在脸书上吸引了300万粉丝，在Instagram上吸引了240万粉丝，推特粉丝也超过80万。

Bub’s fame eventually caught the attention of scientists. In May 2017, researchers at the University of Missouri in the United States sequenced her genome as part of a project to determine what genetic variations had caused her adorable deformities.

莉尔·巴布的名气最终引起了科学家的注意。2017年5月，美国密苏里大学的研究人员对她的基因组进行了排序，以确定哪些遗传变异导致其舌头出现异常，而这种异常又如此可爱。

Bridavsky also started a national fund for special needs pets, the first of its kind, with Bub serving as its face. “Bub has made a huge difference in the world of animal welfare and in the lives of millions of people worldwide,” Bridavsky wrote on Instagram, noting the fund has raised US$700,000 for “animals in need,” with US$75,000 raised in 2018 alone.
