导读：2018年10月，柴犬塔卡（Taka）在一场房屋火灾中被严重烧伤，大多数人认为他活不成了。如今，他却成了烧伤科儿童治疗犬。

 

In October 2018, 9-year-old Taka, a Shiba Inu（柴犬）, was seriously injured in the house fire. The family had time to get their kids out, but there was no time to go back in for Taka. Luckily, Taka was able to run to a neighbor's house. With deep burns to his head, face, back, and feet, he needed round-the-clock care.

2008年10月，9岁的柴犬塔卡（Taka）在房屋火灾中受重伤。一家人有时间把孩子带出去，但没有时间回去找塔卡。幸运的是，塔卡能跑到邻居家。他的头、脸、背和脚都被严重烧伤，他需要全天候的护理。

Because of the medical care that Taka needed, his past owners signed him over to the vets. They chose not to get him back because of his injuries and not being able to care for him properly. "I had been taking him home with me every day, so finally I realized I couldn't part with him," said Crystal Lesley, a vet at Care More Animal Hospital. That's when Taka officially became Lesley's. "After months of recovery and the influence he had on the community, I was found by a nurse at the burn center about Taka coming in to visit burned children, in hopes of giving them something to relate to," Lesley said.

因为塔卡需要医疗照顾，他以前的主人签字把他交给了兽医。由于他的伤势，并且无法妥善照顾，他们选择不让他回来。一个在Care More动物医院的兽医克里斯托·莱斯利说：“我每天都带着它回家，所以最终我意识到我离不开它。”就在那时，塔卡正式成了莱斯利的狗狗。莱斯利表示：“在经历了几个月的康复和对社区的影响之后，烧伤中心的一位护士找到我，是有关塔卡参与探望烧伤儿童的事情，希望能给他们一些相关的东西。”
