A dog became the hero of the day when it saved a baby from going into the water on a beach in Turkey.

看到孩子向海邊爬，小狗趕緊衝了過去，趴在嬰兒面前，擋住他的去路。

The child is seconds away from the shoreline when the dog stands in its way, stopping it from reaching the water.
當時嬰兒與海岸已經近在咫尺，幸好這時小狗擋住了他，使其免於落水。

The phrase 'man's best friend' goes back for centuries, and guide dogs have been used to aid the blind since at least the mid-16th century.
狗被稱爲“人類最好的朋友”已經有數百年之久了。十六世紀中期乃至更早的時候，導盲犬就已經開始被用於幫助殘障人士。

During the Great War, guide dog training schools were set up in Germany to aid injured soldiers and spread to Britain in the early 1930s with The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association established in 1934.
一戰期間，德國設立了專門學校以訓練軍犬援助傷兵。在20世紀30年代早期，這一做法傳到了英國，英政府於1934年設立了“導盲犬協會”。

Today, guide, service and hearing dogs are exempt from normal pet regulations on public transport and in restaurants and establishments.
如今，導盲犬、服務犬、助聽犬被給予了特權，可以在“寵物禁止入內”的公共場所，如公共交通工具上、餐館裏或公共建築裏自由通行。
