'迷糊'鴨自認是狗學狗叫

A duck in Dorset, UK, has become a local celebrity with its dog-emulating behavior. Essy, who was raised from the age of 8 weeks with 2 dogs, believes she is a dog. She wags her tail, attempts to bark, goes up to other dogs and her owner has even put Essy on her own leash. The other 2 dogs are protective of her and walk on both sides of her.(See photo)

英國多西特郡有一只喜歡模仿狗的"迷糊"鴨，在當地出了名。這只名叫"埃西"的鴨子從8周起就和兩只狗養(yǎng)在一起，因此它一直認為自己是條狗，走路喜歡搖尾巴，還試著學狗叫，主動找其它狗玩。主人不得不給它拴上寵物鏈，家里的寵物狗也十分保護這只鴨子，和它形影不離。(見圖)
