的能力强，尽管我知道你们的大多数看法恰恰相反，他们活得比我们长因此更了解过去和未来。他们把各种声音暗不同的顺序排列，就产生了不同的含义，然后他们用此声音进行交流。这些声音各个地区不同，如果他们生长在不同的国家，又没有受过专门的训练的话，他们互相交流就会因此出现障碍。人类还发明了一系列符号把那一串串的声音 表 关于同志近三年现实表现材料材料类招标技术评分表图表与交易pdf视力表打印pdf用图表说话

达在纸上。你经常可以看到他们在专心阅读那些在纸上的符号。运用这两种方法，他们是自己的眼睛和耳朵发展到了一个超出我们狗能理解的水平上。但这样一来，他们却又失去了我们常用眼耳以及其他感官获得大量信息的能力。大多数狗至少能理解人类的一部分词汇（声音意义）而且我们有的已经学会辨认一些他们写在纸上工不同时期和不同地区的人理解的符号模式。但是如果这种技能过于发展，我们就会有丧失其他一些能力的危险。好在人类理解狗的叫声和行为方式的程度与我们也相差无几。试着走近一个人，坐在他面前，伸出前爪摆个姿势。他急乎乎肯定会抓住前爪握一握，因为这也是人类打招呼的动作。他会认为你举止像人-----没有什么比这更让他高兴的了。注意这就有危险了。你不是人，你是一只狗—如果你要快乐，就千万别忘了这一点。你得像狗一样生活。你稍稍改变一下自己去适应人类固然很好，但如果你否认自己的本性你将变成一条疯狗，而且人类会认为你是一条坏狗。动物总有理由选择与另一类动物生活在一起，但是通常我们就根本没有选择。我们被迫与人类一起生活，加入哪个强加于我们的群体，所以你无能为力。人类很清楚他们需要我们与他们生活在一起，但是其实他们并不一定明白个中道理。也许他们呢需要一条狗帮他们狩猎或引路。也许他们需要个看门狗那样赶走盗贼。也许他们照顾你们是为了让他们的孩子有责任感。也许他们是想通过饲养你这条名贵而时尚的狗去吸引同类的眼球。有或许他们只是特别需要找个伴儿，或自己喜爱的东西。（注：可编辑下载，若有不当之处，请指正，谢谢!）
