Adorable Pig Calms Stressed Travelers At San Francisco Airport
旧金山机场一头猪成功俘获乘客心
On December 5, San Francisco Airport (SFO) officials introduced LiLou, the newest member of the Wag Brigade, a group of friendly therapy dogs that roam the airport terminals to provide comfort to harriedtravelers. However, LiLou is not a canine, but a small breed of pig called Juliana. The two-year-old is the first pig to be certified with the SPCA, Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) Program, in the United States.
12月5日,旧金山机场新添一头名为Lilou小动物
While just the sight of the adorable porker, who sports scarlet nail polish on her perfectly manicured nails, is enough to coax a smile from even the most anxious traveler, LiLou is more than just a pretty face. The talented animal can greet fans with her snout or wave, thank them with a shake of her tail, and even entertain them with live music on her toy piano. SFO officials say the pig even takes a bow after each performance!
只是看一眼这头可爱的小猪,看到她涂着指甲油精心修剪的指甲,就足够博得紧张的乘客们一个微笑
As if that is not enough, LiLou can also push a ball with her snout and stand on her back hooves and twirl like a ballerina. She is also housebroken, an important skill for someone who has to roam airport terminals, two hours at a time.
此外,她还能用鼻子推球,仅用后蹄着地,像芭蕾舞蹈员一样旋转
San Francisco SPCA spokeswoman Krista Maloney, says the idea of LiLou becoming a therapy animal came from her owner, Tatyana Danilove. But of course, having a friendly demeanor and love for humans is not enough to qualify. Maloney says Lilou underwent the same training as the dogs and only after she passed with flying colors, was she included in this all-important Wag Brigade family that boasts 300 canine members.
旧金山爱护动物协会发言人Krista Maloney表示,让Lilou过来安抚乘客的想法来自她的主人Tatyana Danilove
Given that LiLou's schedule with her handlers is still not set, there is no sure way of knowing when she will be at SFO. Airport spokesman Doug Yakel says they expect the pig at least once a month and adds, "We may end up making her visits a surprise."
现在Lilou和她管理员的档期还没确定,所以她何时在旧金山机场现身还不确定
