CCTV9英语新闻：流浪狗受训成为警犬

Dogs are known as man’s best friend. However, man is not always a dog’s best friend and the life of a stray is tough if he’s abandoned by his owners. But in Hong Kong, some strays are getting a new lease of life.
 狗狗被认为是人们最好的朋友。然而，人类却并不总是狗狗的好朋友，如果不幸被自己的主人丢弃，四处流浪的生活是很悲惨的。但是，在香港，一些流浪狗正在开始新的生活。
