AZUZ: Hard to believe that even in a doggy dog world, our best friends were thinking, how canine5 get out of this? There are times they seem hug-ry for affection, not wanting to wag war against someone who unleashes6 it. It's not a bark or a bite, it's a hug. And unless the stress causes unrest, it paints a pretty picture of puppy love.
阿祖兹:难以相信在狗狗的世界里,我们最好的朋友想的是要如何摆脱这这些?有时它们好像会用拥抱寻求喜爱,而不是对抗拥抱它们的人。不是吠叫,不是咬,而是拥抱。如果受压没有引发混乱,那就是喜爱狗狗的美好画面。
