第一次见到菲菲的时候，她正在追一辆摩托车。

My China daily colleague、Greg fountain和was chasing her。and，his adult dog was looking on skeptical ly at the antics of the crazy the

我在《中国日报》的同事格雷格方丁正在追她，他的大狗诧异地看着三个月大的小奶狗在欢腾。(莎士比亚，莎士比亚。)

Fei Fei and her litter mates had been left in a trash box on a sidewalk in the Sanlitun area of Beijing . some kind people rescued them，Then Greg and his

菲菲这样的幼崽被扔在北京三里屯路边的垃圾桶里。好心人救了他们，格雷格和他可爱的妻子玛丽亚自愿在他们找到永久的家庭之前成为养父母。

I took Feifei home that afternoon and sent a we chat message to my Chinese wife that I had a surprise waiting for her . she probably thought I meant gook fook

带菲菲去的那天下午，我给中国儿媳送了一张微信，说有惊喜。她想我可能准备了丰盛的晚餐或花束。她没有养过狗，有点害怕狗。

I ' m sure that she initially agreed that we could keep Feifei just because I had been badly missing having a dog . I had to go on a four-day repei Ip the firrymy wife would call frequently and say，" she's barking.what does she want？”now、a month later、I hear her whispering、“I love you、little girl。”

我确信她开始同意留下菲菲，因为我想养狗，想疯了。菲菲搬家的第一周，我有一个报道任务，要出差四天。我妻子一开始总是抱怨。“她又在哭了！她到底想要什么！”一个月后，她温柔地对菲菲说。"我爱你，宝贝。"

I ' ve found that Chinese culture and American culture is usually not that different . in many aspects，I think Chinese culture is better I have to

中国文化和美国文化没有那么大的差别。从很多方面来说，我认为中国文化更好。然而，必须说的是，在养狗方面，美国人更胜一筹。看到中国小朋友看到10斤重的小狗吓得往后躲，我很难受。在美国，孩子们会冲过去给她一个大大的拥抱。

On the other hand，this attitude is changing . I walk Feifei every morning in the great park by the yuan dynasty walls，where many people wa

lk dogs. Feifei craves her morning play-dates when she can romp with other dogs.

但是，这种状态正在改变。我每天带菲菲去元大都公园，好多人都在那儿遛狗。菲菲特别期待每天早上和小伙伴们一起疯来疯去。

Growing up, my big collie named Lad was my best friend. I can’t imagine going through the difficult middle-school years without him.

牧羊犬Lad是我孩童时期最好的朋友。无法想象如果没有它，我该怎么度过那艰难的中学时代。

A 2017 paper in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health concluded: “The review found evidence for a wide range of emotional health benefits from childhood pet ownership; particularly for self-esteem and loneliness.” It also concluded: “Studies also showed evidence of an association between pet ownership and educational and cognitive benefits; for example, in perspective-taking abilities and intellectual development.”

2017年《国际环境研究与公共卫生杂志》一篇文章称，“文献表明童年有宠物陪伴对情感健康有诸多好处。特别是对自尊心的建立和孤独感的消除。”还称，“研究表明，宠物对教育和认知也有好处；例如，有助于主人换位思考能力的提升和智力的发展。”

Young children with dogs were found to learn language faster, read better, and have larger vocabularies. Adolescents with dogs are more emotionally stable and self-confident.

幼儿有狗狗的陪伴，学语言会更快，阅读能力更强，词汇量更大。而青少年有狗狗的陪伴，感情会更稳定，人也更自信。

In other words, if you want your child to do well on the gaokao, and in life, get a dog.

换句话说，如果想让你的孩子赢在高考，那么赶快养只狗吧。

Dogs are not just for the kids. A report in the journal Psychology Todayconcluded that when a person petted a dog “blood pressure lowered, heart rate slowed, breathing became more regular and muscle tension relaxed--all of which are signs of reduced stress.”

养狗不仅对孩子有好处。《今日心理学》的一篇报告指出，“当人抚摸狗狗时，血压会降低，心率会减慢，呼吸变得更规则，肌肉也会放松下来——所有迹象都表明你处于放松状态。”

The American Journal of Cardiologyfound that pet owners have a significantly higher survival rate after having a heart attack than people who don’t own pets. For older people, “the likelihood that the non-pet owners would end up being diagnosed as clinically depressed was four times higher than that found in the pet-owning people of the same age.” Elderly dog owners “required fewer medical services and were much more satisfied with their lives.”

《美国心脏病学杂志》发现，在得了心脏病后，养宠物的人比不养宠物的人存活率明显高很多。对老年人来说，“不养宠物的人被诊断为临床抑郁症的可能性是同龄养宠物人的四倍”，老年养狗的人需要的医疗服务更少，对自己的生活更满意。

My wife says I smile a lot more since we got Feifei. The scientific evidence says she’s right about that.

我媳妇说自从有了菲菲，我笑的都多了。科学证明她说的对。
