無情的主人放棄了超重的獵犬,獸醫(yī)給它找了一個新的有愛的家
Taking care of a pet is never an easy task. Sadly, grooming, socializing them, taking care of nutrition, making sure their health is good and many other things can get a bit overwhelming for some people. So instead of getting help or simply trying harder for their pets, some people resort to placing their pets up for adoption or even worse. This is exactly what happened to Kai – a beautiful and friendly golden retriever who had put on a lot of weight while living with his owner, who then decided that Kai is too much trouble and decided to put him down.
照顧寵物從來都不是一件容易的事。遺憾的是,對一些人來說,梳洗打扮、與它們交往、照顧它們的營養(yǎng)、確保它們的健康以及其他許多事情可能會讓它們不知所措。因此,有些人沒有得到幫助,或者只是為它們的寵物更加努力,而是把它們的寵物送人領(lǐng)養(yǎng),甚至更糟。這正是發(fā)生在凱身上的事情——一只美麗而友好的金毛尋回犬,和它的主人住在一起時體重增加了很多,而主人認為凱太麻煩了,決定把它送走。
However, once the dog was taken to the clinic, the vet refused to euthanize the canine. Instead, the vet called Misfits of Alberta Animal Rescue which helped Kai find a new home.
然而,一旦這只狗被帶到診所,獸醫(yī)拒絕對它實施安樂死。相反,獸醫(yī)打電話給亞伯達動物救助組織,幫助凱找到了新家。
This is how he met his rescuer Pam Heggie. When she took him home, Kai was as big as a table, she told Good Morning America.
這是它如何遇到他的救命恩人帕姆·赫吉。當她帶它回家的時候,凱像一張桌子那么大,她對《早安美國》說。
The pooch weighed 173 pounds and had to lose more than half of his weight. Being this overweight, it took Kai 20 minutes to climb a small set of stairs so he could enter Pam’s house.
這只狗重173磅,必須減掉一半以上的體重。由于超重,凱花了20分鐘爬上一段小樓梯,才得以進入帕姆的家。
The new owner knew that it will be a long and tough process for Kai to lose the excess weight and get back to his normal life. But unlike Kai’s previous owner, Pam refused to give up on him.
新主人知道,凱要減掉多余的體重,恢復(fù)正常生活,將是一個漫長而艱難的過程。但不像凱以前的主人,帕姆拒絕放棄它。
Kai was put on a strict diet and started water therapy to strengthen his legs and build stamina. Pam started taking him for a walk three times a day. “Literally, he went five to 10 steps, and then he would lay down and start panting,” she said. But Kai didn’t give up either.
凱被嚴格控制飲食,并開始接受水療法,以加強它的腿和建立耐力。帕姆開始每天它他散步三次。“實際上,它走了5到10步,然后它會躺下來,開始喘氣,”她說。但是凱也沒有放棄。
Eventually, he was able to walk further and further, climb stairs and even started running in the park. The progress was stunning.
最后,它能夠走得越來越遠,爬樓梯,甚至開始在公園里跑步。進展令人震驚。
It took almost a year, but he managed to lose 100 pounds and become a normal, healthy, and happy dog. While at first, Pam was just fostering him, she eventually made a decision to adopt.
花了將近一年的時間,它成功地減掉了100磅,成為了一只正常、健康、快樂的狗。起初,帕姆只是在撫養(yǎng)它,但她最終決定收養(yǎng)它。
After all, he’s clearly not an ordinary dog, but a true fighter. “He truly amazes me every day,” Heggie said through tears.
畢竟,它顯然不是一只普通的狗,而是一個真正的斗士。“它每天都讓我驚喜不已,”赫吉含淚說道。
It’s truly inspiring to know how much determination a living creature can have. “He shows you how to do a really big task literally one day at a time. He doesn’t worry about yesterday, he doesn’t worry about tomorrow, he just focuses on what needs to be done today and he does it. We can learn a lot from dogs.” Heggie said.
知道一個生物有多大的決心真的很令人鼓舞。“它向你展示了如何每天完成一項真正重大的任務(wù)。它不擔心昨天,也不擔心明天,它只專注于今天需要做的事情,然后它就去做了。我們可以從狗身上學到很多。”赫吉說。
