Rescue Dogs
We often see dogs as our best friends because they are always there for us. These animals aren't just a part of our lives. Some even save lives.
In an earthquake rescue, we often see rescue dogs doing their job bravely. They walk through rubble and sharp glass. Their sense of smell is thousands of times better than ours. They can reach very small spaces because of their size. If they find survivors or dead bodies, they will stop and make a sound to let their team know. They make rescue work go faster. So, a good rescue team must have rescue dogs.
In Taiwan, we have many rescue dogs, and we train them ourselves. The dog in the picture below is Lele. She is the smallest rescue dog in the world. People can see her and other dogs working all over Taiwan to save lives. They are truly our best friends.
搜救犬
我們常視狗兒們為我們最好的朋友,因為牠們總是在我們的身邊不離不棄。這些動物不只是我們生活的一部分。有些甚至會拯救生命。
在地震的搜救當中,我們常看到搜救犬英勇地執行牠們的任務。牠們穿過瓦礫和尖銳的玻璃碎片。牠們的嗅覺比我們的好上幾千倍。因為牠們的體型,牠們可以鑽進很小的空間。如果牠們發現生還者或是屍體,牠們會停下來,並發出聲音來讓牠們的搜救隊知道。牠們讓搜救工作更快速。因此,一個好的搜救小組一定要有搜救犬。
在臺灣,我們有許多搜救犬,而且牠們是由我們自己訓練的。下方照片裡的狗狗叫樂樂。她是世界上體型最小的搜救犬。人們可以看到她和其他狗狗在臺灣各處拯救生命。牠們真的是我們最好的朋友。
