'Saddest-looking dog we've ever seen': Princess at the sanctuary

 
 阅读难度:


While other dogs romp in the snow, Princess the puppy can only gaze longingly through the window.

Her skin is so delicate that she cannot go outside in any weather – even a warm jacket would irritate her beyond endurance.

全世界最悲伤的狗狗

       听说过最可爱的、最聪明的、最调皮的,甚至是最凶恶的狗狗,可是,你听说过最悲伤的狗狗吗?

       近日,英国的一家宠物救助站接收了一只小猎犬。与其他狗狗不同的是,这只仅有6个月大的狗狗却得了一种遗传性皮肤病。

       正是由于这个病,使它的身上没有毛发,只有一层极为单薄、脆弱的皮肤包裹着全身。因此,它不能像其他狗狗一样到户外玩耍。就连一件稍微厚一点儿的外套,也会让它脆弱的肌肤承受不了。

       救助站的工作人员介绍说,这只可怜的狗狗是在英格兰西北部的兰开夏州被主人遗弃的。

       它的皮肤病让它非常痛苦,这从它悲伤的表情就可以看得出来。它没有享受过人类的爱抚,更不知道该如何玩耍。

       因为它太脆弱、太娇贵了,工作人员给它起了个名字,叫“公主”。

       据悉,目前,只有一种抗过敏性的药物能够治“公主”的病,但是这种药物非常昂贵。救助站不得不寻求好心人来给予资助,使“公主”能像其他狗狗一样健康、快乐。
