NBC晚间新闻 一对夫妇用近两月时间找回爱犬

An unforgettable homecoming nearly two months in the making. It began with a moment of desperation, Caroline Vern King were vacationing in Montana when their 7-year-old border collie katy disappeared. I opened up my motel door and my dog was gone. I was devastated¹. For 57 days they went to neighborhoods and deep into the woods, using wildlife cameras and night vision goggles², posting flyers everywhere. You love your dog so much and have hope and you know she's out there searching for you, you can't give up.

Carol quit her job as a mail carrier to keep the search going. But Vern turned to their home outside Spokane, leaving this note for Katy. Instead of saying good-bye, I would rather say see you soon. Love, dad. Then after all seemed lost, a tip. She was right there in the bushes. She ran out. I yelled her name and she came right to me. Katy was 15 pounds lighter³ but happy to be going home. Answering her dad's letter with a shower of kisses. Good girl.

一个令人难忘的近两个月的回家之路。事情始于绝望的一刻，卡洛琳·弗恩·金正在蒙大拿度假时，他们7岁大的博德牧羊犬凯蒂走丢了。我打开汽车旅馆的门，发现我的狗不见了。我崩溃了。在57天的时间里，他们使用了野生动物相机和夜视镜，到处张贴传单。他们去到社区，进入森林深处寻找爱犬。你很爱你的狗，你怀有希望，你知道她在外面找你，你不能放弃。卡罗尔辞掉了邮递员的工作，继续寻找爱犬。但是弗恩回到了他们在斯波坎市郊外的家，给凯蒂留下了这张纸条。与其说再见，我宁愿说一会见。爱你的，爸爸。然后就在似乎一切都宣告失败的时候，事情出现了转机。她就在那里的草丛里。她跑了出来。我叫了她的名字，然后她就向我跑来。凯蒂瘦了15磅，但是她很开心能回家。凯蒂用雨点般的亲吻回复了爸爸的信。好女孩。
