Passage 3
People like to keep a dog as a pet. Some like to walk their pets in the park. They usually take them out for a walk. Some like to take them to the restaurant. Most of the time they keep them at home to be with them. But there are other people who have different ideas. In the United States, there is a dog whose name is Fisher. It lives a totally different life!
Fisher’s owners are a couple of underwater archeologists (考古学家), and they often take Fisher out when they do their work. When the couple study in the library, Fisher usually keeps quiet and sits beside them for a whole day. As the couple go out to sea to do the real work, Fisher stays on the boat to wait for their safe return.
One day, they had an idea. “Why not give Fisher its own diving gear (装备)? Let’s see if it likes to go underwater.” So this couple went and found a businessman to pay for all the things for a dog to go underwater. Soon, Fisher started diving with the couple under the sea. Whenever the couple found something new, Fisher would swim around them over and over. Even after that thing was taken out of the water, Fisher would still stay beside it. Fisher would sniff (嗅) it with its nose. If Fisher got tired, it would take a nap beside it.
“After we were married,” said the couple. “Fisher has become part of our life. So we want to take it everywhere we go --- even underwater!”
