A
Gail Mirabella works as a dog trainer for a circus (馬戲團). She used to train her dogs to do tricks when she was a kid. Finally, her hobby turned into her job. Several days ago, she talked to Time Magazine reporter, Cameron Young, about her love for dogs.
Reporter: Did you always want to be a dog trainer in a circus?
Mirabella: When I was a little kid, I did my first dog show, a kid’s dog show. And I took first place (名次). From then on, I knew I wanted to work with dogs, but who would know I’d be in a circus?
Reporter: Did you have any dogs growing up?
Mirabella: Of course. I had a white shepherd dog when I was a little baby. And then when he died, we got two family dogs. When I was 14, I got one on my birthday. He was a big shepherd dog and reminded (使想起) me of the shepherd dog I had when I was a baby.
Reporter: How long does it take to train a dog, one month, half a year or one year?
Mirabella: That depends on the dog. I have thirteen dogs and I let them all play together, but I do a lot of special work with each dog. They know I am their owner because I do all the feeding.
Reporter: If you weren’t a dog trainer, what would you be?
Mirabella: A dog. Just joking. I would probably still work with animals.
