Click for more photos of world's saddest dog from Flickr
|
A forlorn pug photographed as he waited for his owner by the side of the road has been acclaimed as the world's saddest dog. Pictures of the pet taken by a passer-by have become an internet sensation after being posted on the photo-sharing website Flickr. The dog – nicknamed Mr Newman – looks inconsolable as he sits on the pavement tied to a lamp-post with his leash. The photograph was taken outside a café in the bohemian Californian city of San Francisco, which may go some way to explaining why he is dressed in a stylish grey and purple sweater. "He was hanging around looking for somebody to love him. I tried to cheer him up – he seemed happy to me," said the photographer Chris Michael. One of the four photos of the dog on Flickr is titled "Tough day for Mr Newman" and captioned: "Despite his cool threads, the girls just aren't interested in him any more." Dozens of commenters on the site said they had been touched by the dog's maudlin gaze. "I come back to see this photo every now and then because it's too darn cute," wrote one. Another viewer said that she had been moved to buy a pug of her own after seeing the photos. Mr Newman may have won the hearts of internet users but his web fame is unlikely to eclipse that of feline rival Keyboard Cat, the musical pet who has become a meme in his own right on YouTube. 點擊查看更多雙語新聞

一只被遺棄的哈巴狗在路邊等待主人時被拍到，此后被譽為世界上最憂傷的狗。 這只寵物狗被一個路人拍到，所拍照片被上傳至Flickr圖片分享網站后迅速走紅。 照片上的這只名叫“紐曼先生”的小狗坐在人行道上，被拴在路邊的一根燈柱上，看上去很傷心。 這張照片是在加州舊金山市的一家咖啡館外拍到的。舊金山頗具波希米亞風格，這或許可以解釋為什么這只寵物狗穿了一件灰紫相間的時尚毛衣。 拍下這張照片的克里斯?邁克爾說：“它一直在那里徘徊，似乎在尋找一個愛它的人。我試著逗它玩，他看到我似乎很開心?！?/font> 在上傳至Flickr網站的四張照片中，其中有一張名為“紐曼先生的艱難時日”，圖片說明為：“盡管它的毛衣很酷，可也無法贏得女孩們的心?！?/font> 很多網友發表評論稱自己被狗狗可憐的眼神所感動。其中一位寫道：“我不時地回來看這些照片，因為它實在是太可愛了?！?/font> 另一名網友稱她在看到這些照片后自己也忍不住去買了一只哈巴狗。 “紐曼先生”也許贏得了眾多網友的心，但它的網絡人氣可能還無法超越“鍵盤貓”。這只頗具音樂才能的寵物貓曾在YouTube網站上迅速走紅。 相關閱讀 （英語點津許雅寧 姍姍編輯） |
