The playful dachshund was only 6 weeks old when Denice Shaughnessy, then serving with the U.S. Army, adopted her from a shelter in Newport News, Va.

　　当年丹尼斯?肖内西在弗吉尼亚州纽波特纽斯的一家收容所收养这只顽皮的小猎犬时，它仅有6周大。当时丹尼斯还在美国军中服役。

　　Along with her owner, Chanel spent nine years on assignment in Germany, where she became adept at stealing sticks of butter from kitchen countertops and hiding them in sofa cushions in the living room, Shaughnessy said. She also liked chocolate, usually considered toxic to dogs, Shaughnessy said.

　　由于主人被外派，香奈尔便跟随着在德国生活了九年。其间，香奈尔练就了从厨房灶台偷黄油棒，再把它们藏到客厅沙发垫底下的本领。她还爱吃巧克力，而巧克力通常被认为是狗的“毒药”。

　　"She once ate an entire bag of Reese's peanut butter cups, and, you see, she lived to be 21, so go figure," Shaughnessy added.

　　丹尼斯?肖内西说：“有一次她吃了一整袋的里斯牌花生酱，但你看，她活到了21岁。所以大家想想看吧。”
