每周一下午2点,我和博都要去密尔沃基东北部的银泉康复中心,为住在那里的老人们进行一小时的宠物治疗。我们穿过走廊走向接待室,与每位相遇的人打招呼。在接待室里休养的人都会过来爱抚博——一只活泼可爱的德国短毛猎犬。他今年10岁,体重99磅,很招人喜欢。你们很难想象,8年前,这只狗来到我家门阶上,被打得伤痕累累,一见到人就吓得仰躺在地,四脚朝天,抬起腿来就撒尿,直到人们抚摸它,柔声细语地安慰它,它才会有安全感。

在我们第一次拜访康复中心,路经淡黄色的1号走廊时,从112号房间里传出一位老人激动的声音,带着浓重的德国口音:“玛,玛,来了一条德国狗!这里,有只德国狗!”

随即,一位皱纹满面、约6英尺高的白发瘦高老人出现在门口,他张开有力的双臂,伸出大手,邀我们进去。“我是查理,这是我的妻子埃玛。请进,请进。”
