My dog always looks at the tv when super vet is onand the poorly doggies are crying. He looks at the tv with a sad face.

当电视上出现兽医给狗狗治疗并且电视上的狗狗大哭时，我家的宠物狗就会看着电视，这时我家狗狗的脸上露出了悲伤的表情。

My boyfriend had a shelty called Basil growing upwho whenever he'd hear the Corrie theme would stop whathe was doing, run in, sit in front of the tv and howl along to the tune till itwas done. They'd all give him a big clap then watch it together. He loved it!

我男朋友之前有一只喜乐蒂牧羊犬，每次它听到肥皂剧《加冕典礼街》的主题曲时，就会停止自己正在做的事情，然后跑进屋里，坐在电视机前，随着音乐一起狂吼，直到结束。然后大家会给它大大的掌声，再一起看电视。

My cats stalks the TV if I put it on Animal Planet.

只要我把电视调到《动物星球》那个频道，我的猫就会悄悄接近电视。

Same here, all our five cats enjoy Springwatch, and also televised snooker if given thechance. We've lost count of the times they've disappeared behind the T.V.cabinet to look for a bird/animal or snooker ball whenever they move out ofsight. Lol, yet no matter how many times it happens, they still emerge lookingperplexed.

是的，我家那5只猫也喜欢看《春日观察》，还喜欢看斯诺克台球比赛。当鸟或者动物或者斯诺克台球在电视屏幕上不见时，它们就会跑到电视机后面去寻找。哈哈，不管发生多少次，它们总是迷惑不解。

哈哈，看来英国的狗狗们比本站更有品味啊。连狗狗都不喜欢卡戴珊姐妹们，但是我们知道本站一天不报道卡戴珊姐妹就浑身不自在。

So, pets, animals, have more common sense than allthe Kardashian fans in total. My dog loved watching the Westminster Dog Show.He was enthralled by it.

如此看来，动物比卡戴珊的粉丝们更具备常识。我家狗狗喜欢看《威斯敏斯特狗狗秀》，完全被迷住了。
