天才一秒记住【畅想小说网】地址:http://www.cxtra.net

同年,该市通过了一项法令,规定所有的狗必须领牌照。

一名动物管理员把帕齐·安扣押了,并威胁她,要给她实施安乐死。

几位市民集资给她办了牌照,还给她买了个鲜红的项圈。

帕齐·安重新获得了自由,继续执行她的放哨任务。

13年来,几乎在她生命中的每一天,她都会摇着尾巴无忧无虑地出现,把欢乐带给朱诺市市民。

她听不见人们叫她“好姑娘”

,可是她看得见他们的笑靥,感受得到他们的爱怜。

1942年,帕齐·安逝世了。

悲痛的市民把她的尸体放进一个小木棺材里,并将其慢慢地沉入加斯蒂诺海峡中。

她将永远活在朱诺市市民的心间,并与她所乐于眺望的静谧水域永远相连。

帕齐·安死后约半个世纪,一场纪念她的活动轰轰烈烈地展开了。

加斯蒂诺码头边的空地改建成了今天的帕齐·安广场,并授权竖起了一尊比活狗还大的铜像,基座上还有一个铜项圈。

现在,广场上开满了鲜花,人们坐在椅子上,如同铜像帕齐·安一样眺望着远方。

就这样,所有朱诺市市民收养并喜爱的帕齐·安依然是这座城市的官方迎宾小姐。

这尊聋哑小狗的铜像就坐落在木制的迎宾牌旁,与朱诺市民一道表达了一种真挚的情意:阿拉斯加朱诺市欢迎您!
