世界最醜狗竟受熱捧 瞎眼豁牙地包天
After seeing his profile picture on the the Mayflower animal sanctuary's website, café worker April Parker, 35, immediately fell in love with the partially-blind Pointer cross. The mother-of-two took her daughters Skye, 15, and Jasmine, 13, along to see him and, proving that looks aren’t everything, the family scooped him up and took him home.
許多人養狗都喜歡養精神的、帥的狗,但也有些人喜歡養很醜的狗。咖啡廳35歲員工April Parker一在寵物網站上看到這隻“盲狗”照片時,一下就“墜入了愛河”,立馬攜她的2個女兒前往Mayflower動物收養中心將狗狗領回家。雖然其實狗也和人相似,外面的醜陋並不意味着內在也一樣醜陋,許多外表醜陋的人內心無比善良,相信這個被冠以“最醜狗”頭銜的小寶貝一定有一顆金子般的心靈。
He cost Ms Parker ?200, but has proved to be worth every penny. She said: 'When people see him they do a double take. He looks comical with his bug eyes and cross teeth and he's always bumping into things. 'But he has a fantastic temperament and is really loving.'
據悉,這隻外表駭人的狗狗售價並不便宜,也花了April Parker近200英鎊。但是事實證明,錢的的確確花在了刀刃上。狗的主人Ms Parker 説:“我覺得它長得十分具有喜感,不僅僅是因為他突出的大眼球、還有他‘地包天’的牙齒,還有狗狗的性格超級温順,很討喜,我們都快愛死它了。”
An international race to find the world's ugliest dog was unofficially launched in June after the World's Ugliest Pedigree Dog title holder passed away. Miss Ellie, a Chinese Crested Hairless who won the pedigree prize and was a celebrity among lovers of ugly dogs, sadly died at the age of 17.
據悉,擁有上一屆“世界上最醜狗”頭銜的“最醜的狗的Miss Ellie(中國冠毛犬)”去世,享年17歲。這隻狗的生平並不簡單,它曾幫助募捐了高達10萬美元的善款!誰説長相醜陋不討喜,人家才是真正“美麗的典範”呢!
