狗狗从家中走失,十年后重现
Debra Suierveld and her family assumed their dog Abby had died after she ran away in 2008 from their home in Apollo, but decade-old sadness turned to joy on Saturday when Suierveld received word someone had found the dog.
黛布拉·苏费尔德和她的家人认为他们的狗艾比在2008年从他们在阿波罗的家走失后就去世了,但是在上周六当苏费尔德收到有人找到狗的消息时,十年之久的悲伤转为喜悦。
The black Labrador mix showed up on George Speiring’s front porch in Lower Burrell, 10 miles west of Apollo. Speiring contacted Animal Protectors of Allegheny Valley, which discovered the dog’s microchip and was able to contact Suierveld.
这只黑色拉布拉多混血犬出现在乔治·斯佩里家的前门廊下,在阿波罗的西边10英里处。他与阿勒格尼谷的动物保护人员联系,发现了狗的微芯片,并联系了狗的主人苏费尔德。
Someone had taken good care of Abby over the years. Abby is in great health and remembers things the family taught her, Suierveld said.
多年来,有人对艾比照顾得很好。艾比身体健康,还记得家人教她的东西。
“She would lie on the floor and cross her paws, and she remembers my daughter’s commands, and she remembers the commands I taught her,” Suierveld told KDKA-TV.
苏费尔德告诉匹兹堡电视台:“她会躺在地板上,交叉着爪子,她还记得我女儿的命令,她记得我教她的命令。”
Suierveld called her 22-year-old daughter, who is a student at Miami University, in Oxford, Ohio, to share the news.
苏费尔德打电话给她22岁的女儿,她是迈阿密大学牛津分校的学生,她现在在俄亥俄州,苏费尔德跟她分享这个消息。
“She cried,” Suierveld told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
“她哭了”,苏费尔德告诉《匹兹堡论坛报》。
Suierveld’s family has planned a reunion dinner on Sunday to welcome Abby back.
苏费尔德一家准备在周日举行重聚晚宴欢迎艾比回家。
“It feels like a part of my kids’ childhood is back, part of our family is back,” Suierveld said. “It’s pretty awesome.”
苏费尔德说:“这感觉就像我孩子童年的一部分回来了,我们家的一部分回来了,这种感觉太棒了!”
