感动!女子训练“残疾”狗狗 助人类与狗相互治愈


Debbie Pearl spends most of her life saving dogs. She is also the founder of Dream Fetchers, a nonprofit organization(非营利性机构) that joins special needs animals with similarly-challenged humans. She believes that there’s no medical challenge that can’t be improved with a friendly dog, especially when those dogs have been through so much in their own lives. “Here at Dream Fetchers, we try our best to better the lives of those around us,” Debbie explained.

Debbie has started a team of rescued (营救) dogs. She calls them The Unstoppables. Speedy, Zeek, Eddie, Pop, Kala, and Bunny Pop made up of it. Nearly all of them have physical problems that need prosthetics(义肢) and wheelchairs, but that doesn’t stop them! In fact, it doesn’t even slow them down. Each of these animals has a tragic story, including being treated badly, thrown away, and left for dead because of birth differences. Once these animals are rescued, Dream Fetchers gives them training, love, and care to change the course of their lives forever.  

Hoping to let more people know about the importance of these animals and the mark they make on human lives every day, Debbie recently published(出版) a children’s book called “The Unstoppables”. She hopes the fun book helps children learn more about differently-abled dogs and all the joy they can bring to the world.
