一个年轻人绕着拉斯维加斯市中心繁忙的街角踱来踱去,他表情绝望,一只手举着皱巴巴的纸板,上面潦草地写着:身无分文——需要狗食,另一只手牵着一条狗链子。
狗链上拴着一只不满一岁的哈士奇小狗,离他们不远的灯柱上,系着一只大一些的相同品种的狗。
严冬将至,他在凛冽的寒风中号叫着,那悲惨的叫声数里外都能听见,他似乎知道自己的命运。
他的身旁立着一块牌子,写着“待售”
的字样。
我暂时忘了自己的目的地,迅速掉转车头,径自驶向这三个无家可归者。
我的车子的后备箱里一直都存有猫狗的粮食,多年来我一直有这种习惯。
我以这种方式来帮助那些我不能收养的动物,这些猫狗粮也能帮助我引诱那些受惊吓的狗逃离马路上的危险,帮助那些在困境中的动物一直是我的自发行为。
我把车子停在最近的地方,拿出一包5磅重的狗食和一罐水,又从钱包里掏出20美元。
我小心翼翼地走近那个衣衫褴褛的年轻人和他的可怜的狗狗们。
如果这个人伤害了这些动物,或者把他们当成博得怜悯的工具,我就会很气愤。
大狗正可怜地仰天呜号着。
就在我走近他们之前,一辆卡车在他们旁边停下来,问大狗卖多少钱。
“50美元,”
角落里的年轻人答道,然后很快补充了一句,“但我确实不想卖。”
“他有执照吗?”
“没有。”
