School Designed for Dogs

I love going to the park with my dog. It's fun to see him run around with other dogs and enjoy the space outdoors. 看著我的狗狗在室外跑來跑去，真好玩！ I wish I could take my dog everywhere. Not just to parks and beaches, but to indoor places as well… Such as restaurants, museums … and school! 我也想帶狗狗到一些室內的地方，例如餐廳、博物館，還有學校。 But I guess most indoor places won't let dogs in. 但很多地方不准狗進去。 Most places aren't designed for dogs. They are designed for people. And if a place is designed to be better for people, it is probably not that comfortable for dogs. 很多設計給人使用的空間不太適合狗。 But guess what. There is a place in Spain that is designed for dogs. This place is actually a school for dogs. 不過在西班牙，有一所給狗狗上的學校。 Everything there is made to be good for dogs. For example, the floors are made of a material that is comfortable for a dog's feet. 學校裡面地板的材質，不會讓狗的腳不舒服。 Everything is lowered too so dogs can see better when they're walking around. 所有設備的高度都比較矮，讓狗看得更清楚。 Dogs like to bark, and they have very sensitive ears. So the building is also made of material to help make sure noise levels aren't too high. 狗狗很愛叫，聽覺也很敏感，所以他們使用可以減少噪音的材質。 There should be a comfortable school for dogs in Taiwan, I would take my dog there! ________________________________ Vocabulary 設計給狗上課的學校，這可稀奇了。 1.
