Lola the Genius Dog

Lola is a very intelligent dog. She is a mix between several different dog breeds, including the Siberian Husky and the Chihuahua. She knows how to use a toilet, just like a human does. She also taught herself how to play hide and seek.

蘿拉是一隻非常聰明的狗,她是混血的狗(米克斯),包括哈士奇和吉娃娃,她也知道怎麼像人類一樣地(de,ㄉㄜ˙)上廁所,她自己學會了玩躲貓貓(捉迷藏)。

Her owner, Dutch, saw that some dogs were able to use buttons to communicate with their owners. So he bought several buttons to try this with Lola. When Lola presses a button, it plays a short recording of a word or a phrase. Incredibly, Lola is able to understand the words and phrases. 

她的主人  —  德克斯,看了一些狗能夠用按鈕跟主人溝通。所以,他買了幾個按鈕讓蘿拉試試看,當蘿拉按下按鈕,按鈕會播放簡短的單詞或片語,不可思議的是,蘿拉能夠理解這些單詞和片語。

Lola’s favorite button is the “treat” button. A dog treat is a little snack that owners can give dogs between meals. When she presses the treat button, it means she wants her owner to give her a treat. Lola’s least favorite button is the bath button. She hates taking baths. When it’s time for her to take a bath, she tries to run and hide from her owner.

蘿拉最喜歡的按鈕是「請客」的按鈕,「請客」按鈕就是主人要給蘿拉正餐以外的零食,蘿拉按下按鈕的時候,意味著她想要主人給她零食,蘿拉最不喜歡的按鈕是「洗澡」,每次到了要洗澡的時候,蘿拉試著逃跑和躲起來。

Even though Lola’s siblings were adopted by other people, she still has playdates with her sister, Cleo. Now Lola and Dutch have a beautiful friendship. Dutch adopted Lola during Covid, so he had a friend to keep him company while many people in the US had to quarantine. Lola is lucky to have a kind owner like Dutch, and Dutch is lucky to have a wonderful dog like Lola!

雖然蘿拉的兄弟姐妹被別人領養了,但是,她還是常常跟她的姐妹見面,現在蘿拉和德克斯有了美滿的友誼,德克斯在疫情期間領養了蘿拉。在美國封城的期間,德克斯有一個夥伴陪他,蘿拉很幸運能遇到這麼善良的主人,而德克斯很幸運地遇到這麼棒的一條狗。
