Alfie是一隻被主人忽視的狗狗…嘴巴不時被套著、並且用鏈子綁在門外,看起來就像是一隻做錯事被懲罰的可憐狗狗。
![Alfie was neglected by his owners, muzzled, chained, and left outside - simply for being a normal, mischievous dog.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/lifebuzz-78b751ebf5924dc1c7ce7f8a42609574-limit_2000.jpg)
只是不同的是…他已經像這樣被鍊在門外很長一段了,幾個月來他的生活就是被”關在外面”,每天都過得和前一天一樣。
![He had to sit outside for days on end, for months at a time.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/lifebuzz-e948c1c2956f43a32421ab1d99100bc7-limit_2000.jpg)
每一天他唯一能做的事情就是像這樣躺在地上…
![Most of the time, he laid on the hard concrete, most likely miserable.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/lifebuzz-c1009a78265f0978e8ebae5ab28a0b45-limit_2000.jpg)
也因為遭到這樣的對待,讓他對人類懷著極度不信任感,因此每當周遭有人經過時、Alfie都會歇斯底里地對他們吠叫。
![He also spent a lot of time barking, as he was incredibly (and understandably) mistrusting of humans.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/lifebuzz-2889412af29675f372cd38ecceb99530-limit_2000.jpg)
許多經過的人們、看見Alfie的人們,大多選擇忽視這隻狗狗。但幸運的是,一旁的鄰居選擇做出不同的事情。
![Finally, Alfie's neighbors had enough. They decided to release him themselves.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/lifebuzz-87d982c1a52bcf14ac6c76317289a996-limit_2000.jpg)
經過長時間的觀察、看見Alfie的處境後,鄰居決定將Alfie拯救出來!
透過法律途徑,熱心的鄰居成功將Alfie從鐵鍊的束縛中解放了!而Alfie也找到了很棒的新主人!
![Finally, he was able to get the family he deserved.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/lifebuzz-7a8d1ff50f6fc0212aa2209707c84c8e-limit_2000.jpg)
現在的Alfie不僅有人陪他玩、受到關愛,他偶爾也能跟其他狗狗玩在一起!
![He was trained, cared for, and allowed to roam and play with other dogs.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/lifebuzz-e2bbe8eabde914fbcb4606cce611a1ec-limit_2000.jpg)
對現在的Alfie而言,先前那些在鐵鍊中度過的時光彷彿是一場惡夢。
![Now, he lives freely, off the chain and muzzle.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/lifebuzz-de1c569e202cfc1af5fe97cefc0dd91b-limit_2000.jpg)
現在的他不僅不用待在空無一物的室外虛度光陰,還能玩主人送他的玩具!
![He's also got a lot of toys to play with.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/lifebuzz-2b9f07892337502b350f8add94f8c3d9-limit_2000.jpg)
之前最常和他相處的可能是鍊在身上的繩索,但現在他則擁有了很要好的狗玩伴!
![He even got a new doggy sibling, with whom he spends most of his time.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/lifebuzz-40c458a4969b41aeb7cd5f14bc43aaa5-limit_2000.jpg)
像參加家庭聚會野餐這樣的事情,對以前的Alfie來說可能是不可能的幻想,但如今已經美夢成真了!
![Instead of being on the sidewalk alone, Alfie gets to have fun at family picnics.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/lifebuzz-8797237e48226bf0945bd303a19143de-limit_2000.jpg)
現在度過的每一天,都比整段在鐵鍊下的時光還要充實、有趣!
![His life is fully of new and exciting adventures.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/lifebuzz-537930c7baab8fb769728b79f7eae49f-limit_2000.jpg)
看看Alfie現在的模樣…最大的差別是少了鐵鏈嗎?還是場景不同呢?都不是…
![But what's the best part of Alfie's life? His freedom.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/lifebuzz-b40395b216de78be14a3d4cf7443f0a9-limit_2000.jpg)
是現在的他已經擁有”自由”了!這才是最重要的!
