A spaniel and two puppies were left outside a Buddhist monastery on Hong Kong Island. The head of a dog rescue group has said that a special Buddhist ceremony will be held for them later this month.
Sally Anderson, founder of Hong Kong Dog Rescue, said the purpose of the ceremony is to care for the dogs spiritually. Anderson said the event will help make sure the dogs "will not have to come back in another life as dogs."
She said the spaniel, a nine-year-old named Stanley, has already landed on its feet. It has found a loving foster home.
Anderson added that the event will take place during a visit to Hong Kong by dog trainer Victoria Stilwell. Stilwell hosts the television program It's Me or the Dog. The program helps teach disobedient and noisy dogs how to behave.(Staff Writer, with DPA)
在香港一間佛寺外面出現了三隻被遺棄的狗狗：一隻短腿獵犬和兩隻幼犬。一個狗狗救援組織的負責人表示，他們將在本月底為這些棄犬舉辦一個特殊的佛教儀式。
香港狗狗救援組織HKDR的創辦人莎莉．安德森表示，這個儀式的宗旨是在精神上照顧這些被棄養的狗。安德森說，這個儀式可以幫助這些狗「下輩子投胎時，可以不要再當狗了」。
安德森說，這隻名叫史丹利的九歲獵犬已經「出運」了，牠已經找到一個愛牠的領養家庭了。
安德森又說，這個儀式將在狗狗訓練師維多利亞．史提威爾訪港期間舉辦。史提威爾是電視節目「如何調教你的狗」的主持人，這個節目專門教飼主如何調教頑皮不聽話或是愛叫的狗兒乖乖聽話。（德通社／翻譯：袁星塵）
