狗活潑可愛(ài)，與人十分親近，歷來(lái)是人類的朋友。
可是在漢語(yǔ)里，狗有說(shuō)不完的委屈。它們往往形象不雅，難登大堂，甚至還會(huì)被拿來(lái)罵人，“哈巴狗”、“走狗”、“狗仗人勢(shì)”、“癩皮狗”不一而足，令愛(ài)狗人士不免感嘆：“哎！可憐的狗狗！”
令人欣慰的是，狗在英語(yǔ)中來(lái)了個(gè)“大翻身”，抖抖身上的怨氣，幾乎與人地位平等起來(lái)。英語(yǔ)中有一句諺語(yǔ)叫做“Every dog has his Day”（ 風(fēng)水輪流轉(zhuǎn)，人人皆有得意時(shí)。）這里的dog其實(shí)就是指“人”。再看一個(gè)：“Love me, love my dog.”用英語(yǔ)來(lái)講就是：If you love me, you must accept every thing about me.也就是說(shuō)：“要是你喜歡我，就要喜歡我的（一切，包括我的）狗。”
我們來(lái)看一個(gè)例子：
You made friends with Peter last month. You have lots of fun together, but he's a very neat person, and you are sometimes messy. Does that mean you can't be friends? Of course not! If he wants to be friends with you, he must accept everything about you. So tell him: love me, love my dog. After all, no one is perfect. That's what good friends are about.
