Hi I'm Alex Farnham and this is animalist news!
我是Alex Farnham，这里是动物王国！
If anything ever proved that dogs are man's best friend, it's that an estimated one million dogs in the united states have been the primary beneficiaries in their owner's will.
据估计，在美国约有一百万只狗名列其主人遗嘱中主要受益人名单，此事也证明了狗的确是人类最好的朋友。
Even the beatles' Paul Mccartney was crazy about his pooch.
即使是披头士乐队的保罗麦卡尼也为狗痴狂。
Rumor has it that at the end of the song "a day in the life", the singer snuck in a super high pitched whistle so his Shetland sheepdog could enjoy it!
有传言说，在歌曲“生命中的一天”的末尾，主唱尖锐的口哨声曾让他的喜乐蒂牧羊犬欢欣不已！
But Mccartney isn't the only famous dog lover!
但爱狗之士可远不止麦卡尼一人！
Former president george washington frequently wrote about his thirty six foxhounds.
前总统乔治·华盛顿笔下，对其那三十六只猎狐犬也多有描绘。
But for such a regal man, he sure did give them weird names.
但对于这样一个总统级人物，自然狗的名字也都稀奇古怪。
Among the bunch was "drunkard", "tipsy", and "sweetlips".
什么“酒鬼”、“醉汉”、“石鲈”之类的。
It's no wonder people are so bonded to dogs since we've be owning them as pets for nearly twelve thousand years!
我们人类以狗为宠的历史已有将近一万二千年了，难怪我们人类与狗是如此难舍难分。
In fact, did you know that spiked dog collars were originally created by ancient Greeks?!
事实上，你知道尖刺项圈最初是由古希腊人发明的吗？！
A little less chic than our collars today, these bad boys were made from leather and sharpened nails!
比起我们今天时髦的衣领，也仅是稍显逊色，它们全是用皮革和削尖的指甲做成的！
Back in those days, they were less of a fashion statement and more of a necessity.
在当时，相比时尚，它们更多的是生活的必需品。
These spiky collars helped protect sheepdog's throats from fatal wolf attacks while defending farm animals.
这些带刺的项圈可以保护牧羊犬的喉咙，让它们在工作时，免受狼的致命侵袭。
One thing's for sure, dogs don't need any more protection for their eyes.
有一件事是肯定的，狗的眼睛无需太多额外保护。
All dog's have not one, not two, but three protective eyelids!
所有的狗，拥有的不是一层，不是两层，而是三层眼睑，可以保护它们的眼睛！
The third eyelid, also called a haw, keeps moisture in the eye and cleans the cornea when the haw closes, it may look like a dog's eyes are rolling back in it's head because the pupils are covered!
第三层眼睑，也叫瞬膜。当眼睛闭合时，瞬膜帮助保持眼睛湿润，清洁角膜，也由于瞳孔被覆盖，看起来狗的眼睛滚到了脑袋里面！
