令人心碎的狗狗照片在网上疯传，引发领养热潮

A heart-breaking image of a loyal dog sitting alongside the hospital bed of his owner who recently died has gone viral online and prompted inquiries about adopting him.

近日，一条忠诚的狗狗坐在最近去世的主人的病床旁，这张令人心碎的照片在网上疯传，并引发了收养它的热潮。

On Monday, New Jersey's NorthStar Pet Rescue posted on Facebook an image of a three-year-old labrador, named Moose, sitting "patiently next to his dad's hospital bed, waiting for him to return".

周一，新泽西州的北极星宠物救助组织在脸书上发布了一张三岁拉布拉多犬穆斯的照片，它“耐心地坐在爸爸的病床旁，等待他的归来”。

However, the owner had passed away and the post said Moose was "taking the loss of his dad pretty hard"

然而，主人去世了，报道称狗狗“很难承受失去主人的痛苦”。

"Please help Moose find a new home and a family for him to love," it said.

帖子写道：“请帮助Moose找一个新家、一个他爱的家。”

NorthStar Pet rescue said he adores children and was the type of dog that shouldn't be left at home all day long as he "misses his people too much".

北极星宠物救援组织表示，Moose很喜欢孩子，是那种不应该整天待在家里的狗，只是“太想念家人”。

"He's a sweet happy boy by nature. He just needs people to help his heart heal."

“他天生是个可爱的快乐男孩。他只是需要有人帮他的心愈合。”

A second post from Eleventh Hour Rescue, which is currently looking after the dog, said Moose was found in August 2017 tied to a railroad sign in front a rural Georgia animal shelter.

目前正在照看这只狗的宠物救援组织发布的第二篇帖子称，2017年8月，狗狗被绑在乔治亚州一个乡村动物收容所前的路标上。

"Moose was at that shelter for many months and during that time he had no interest from adopters," the post said.

“狗狗在收容所呆了好几个月，在那期间，他对收养人没有任何兴趣，”邮报报道。

Eventually, Moose was taken to an Eleventh Hour Rescue shelter from where his owner eventually adopted him.

最后，狗狗被带到了一个紧急避难所，在那里主人最终收养了他。

After tragedy struck Moose's "dad", the post said it was Eleventh Hour Rescue's adoption policy, that if "an adopted cannot keep one of our dogs for any reason, the dog must come back to us, and Moose did just that."

狗狗的主人去世后，根据救援组织的收养政策，如果“收养人因任何原因不能再养我们的狗，那狗必须回到我们身边， Moose 就是这么做的。”

"No matter how crowded we are, we always make room for one of our own".

“不管我们有多拥挤，我们总能为狗狗腾出地方。”

Both posts have since gone viral on Facebook, with thousands of likes and shares between them, and due to the attention received, the pet rescues updated their posts on Thursday (local time) to say Moose had received "several applications".

这两条微博在脸书上迅速走红，有成千上万的点赞和分享，由于受到关注，宠物救援组织周四(当地时间)更新了他们的帖子，称Moose已经收到了“多个申请”。

"We are hopeful he will find a forever home soon," NorthStar Pet Rescue said.

北极星宠物救援组织表示，“我们希望他很快就能找到一个永远的家。”
