Beverly L.Jenkins　景一

Dogs are incredibly loyal compan -ions2. Even though they may havemultiple3 owners during their lives， theynever truly forget their first loves.

Jolie recently witnessed4 this kind ofloyalty while on a family trip to the beach.She was enjoying the beauty of the sea inPeru when she noticed a stray5 doggazing longingly6 out at the sea.

The dog looked clean and well-caredfor， and he was even wearing a collar.Jolie couldnt figure out why he wasthere by himself with no human caretakersin sight， but she spent some timegiving him love and attention. He was sofriendly. She considered taking him homewith her， but she feared shed be takingsomeones dog.

Later， Jolie asked a local man aboutthe dog. He told her the dog is wellknown in the area. His name is Vaguito，and a woman in the village technically7owns him， but everybody helps take careof him.

狗是難以置信的忠誠伙伴。盡管它們一生中可能有多個主人，但它們從未真正忘記自己的第一個主人。

朱莉最近在一次海灘家庭旅行中親眼目睹了這種忠誠。她在秘魯享受大海的美景時注意到一只流浪狗渴望地望著大海。

這只狗看起來很干凈，受到了很好的照顧，甚至還戴著項圈。朱莉不明白為什么它獨自在那里，沒有人看護，但她花了一些時間給它愛和關(guān)注。它很友好。她考慮帶它回家，但她擔(dān)心她會帶走別人的狗。

后來，朱莉向當(dāng)?shù)匾幻凶釉儐柫诉@條狗的情況。他告訴她這條狗在這個地區(qū)很有名。它的名字叫“瓦吉托”，嚴格來說它是村里的一位婦女的，但每個人都會幫忙照顧它。

When Jolie heard why the dog sits bythe sea each day， she was incredibly moved.

“He explained that practically everyonein the area knows the dog and is very fondof him，”she said. “He told us that the dogsowner was a fisherman who passed awaysome time ago， and that the dog comes tothe beach every day and stares out to sea.”

Even though Vaguito is surrounded bypeople who care about him， hell neverforget his first owner， and hell never stopwaiting for him to return. Naturally， Joliestweet about Vaguito went viral8， and peopleall over the world were touched by thissweet dog.

當(dāng)朱莉聽到這只狗為什么每天坐在海邊時，她非常感動。

“他解釋說，這個地區(qū)幾乎每個人都認識這只狗，而且非常喜歡它?！彼f，“他告訴我們，狗的主人是一位漁民，他不久前去世了，狗每天都會來到海灘，凝望著大海?！?/p>

盡管瓦吉托周圍都是關(guān)心它的人，但它永遠不會忘記第一任主人，它會永遠等待他的歸來。很自然，朱莉關(guān)于瓦吉托的推文迅速傳開，全世界的人都被這只可愛的狗所感動。
