Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Is this the school?

There are so many classrooms.

And students having classes.

Sister, look!

There's a dog in the classroom.

Did I see that right?

Is this a school for dogs?

Dogs go to school too?

Hello, classmate.

I'm Chiffon.

Hello, Chiffon.

I'm Lele.

Are you a student in this class?

So rude!

We're the dog teachers.

You are?

Teachers.

But you're a dog.

Can you teach English?

Or maybe math?

Don’t underestimate me!

Our job is much more fun.

Dog teachers

play games with the kids.

That's so cool!

I've heard of police dogs.

And drug-sniffing dogs.

But I didn’t know there were teacher dogs.

Of course.

We dog teachers are very impressive.

Lele, do you know?

This group of dog teachers

are also called therapy dogs.

They were once stray animals.

They have to go through long training

to become dog teachers.

Their job

is to accompany people who need help.

Strays?

Why don’t you go home?

We’re a group of stray dogs

who don’t know where home is.

I used to

always live on the streets.

With no home.

Until one day, I was found.

They took me to

Kaohsiung Shoushan Animal Shelter.

How did you come here from the shelter?

I remember very clearly.

我記得很清楚喔

I stayed at the shelter

for a whole winter and summer.

One day, a group of people

said they were looking for special dogs.

When they saw me,

they said I’m a bit special.

Special?

Specially black.

No, not that!

I’m especially friendly.

Specially black.

After that,

Chiffon came here to be with me.

And started training

to become a dog teacher.

You even need training to play games?

Of course!

We all passed many tests

我們都是經過很多關卡

to become qualified dog teachers.

Who are you?

This is Xitang.

He’s a trainee

dog teacher.

Wait.

I get it now!

That gesture means

"Wait."

Not bad!

You actually understood.

Because I also heard

the trainer say "wait" to Xitang.

I know the English word "wait"

means "hold on."

Can you guess

what this gesture means?

What does this mean?

Kids, let’s guess together!

What does this gesture mean?

1. Waving, “come here.”

2. Showing muscle strength.

3. I’m brave!

Come.

I know!

The answer is 1.

Waving, “come here.”

That’s right!

This is how we dog teachers

say hello.

How strange.

Why not just wave directly?

Wouldn’t that be faster?

Lele, wait!

You moved too much and scared Xitang.

Sorry, sorry.

I didn’t mean to scare you.

If you want to say hello to us dog teachers,

the movement should be slower and gentler.

Remember to face your palm inward.

Don’t let us think

you’re waving something wildly.

That makes sense.

This action looks like throwing something too.

No wonder Xitang got scared.

We dog teachers

all used to be strays.

Compared to regular pets,

we're much more careful.

Got it.

Anything else I should know?

To get along with us naturally,

you need to remember five things.

The first and most important:

Don't stare into a dog's eyes.

Why not?

My sister says you need to look people in the eye

when talking to show respect.

才有禮貌呀

But we dogs think

staring into eyes is threatening.

Like staring at prey.

That makes sense.

What’s the second thing?

Second,

let the dog remember your scent.

Remember the “come here” gesture?

I remember!

Try calling Xitang over.

Xitang.

Come here!

I did it!

Xitang seems to like me!

Can I pet Xitang?

No, no, no!

Don't rush.

The second thing is to get familiar with the scent.

Okay, go ahead and smell me.

Lele,

no need to be so nervous.

Relax a bit.

Let Xitang use his nose to get to know you.

Dogs are very sensitive to smells.

If we're willing to come close,

we’ll remember your scent.

That's how we get to know people too.

What’s next?

You scared me!

Lele, speak softly.

Don’t scare Xitang.

It was Xitang who was louder just now.

That’s because you turned your head suddenly.

That startled him.

Sudden noises or movements

will scare a dog.

Lele, remember

to speak softly and move slowly.

Got it!

The fourth thing is very important.

We dogs don’t bark suddenly.

When we bark,

it means we have something to say.

At that time,

you should observe carefully, right?

Exactly!

Then how can I understand

what you’re saying?

I can’t understand “woof” or “howl.”

Dogs express emotions and what they want to say

through body language.

That’s also the fifth thing.

這也剛好是第五件事

If a dog licks its lips,

does that mean it’s hungry?

That’s not about wanting food.

It means,

“I feel a bit nervous.”

It looks scared.

That’s right.

At this moment,

we’ll back away

to avoid danger.

If a dog wags its tail,

does that mean it’s happy?

Not always.

When I see strangers coming,

I also wag my tail,

but I back away too.

You really are cautious, dog teacher!

Of course I am!

Class time! Class time!

Which dog teacher will it be today?

( Milk Tea, come! )

Come here!

That's saying hello!

I can do that too!

Come here!

Chiffon ran through the students'

legs like a train in a tunnel.

Why are all the kids lying down?

小朋友們怎麼都躺著

Are they napping?

This game is called

"Find it, Dog Teacher."

The kids are hiding dog treats on their bodies.

Milk Tea is amazing!

She found the treat so fast!

Dogs have a sensitive sense of smell.

I think I smell treats too.

Not only with kids,

dog teachers also get along well

with grandmas and grandpas.

Lele, look!

Dog teachers are teaching.

Everyone looks so happy.

I’ve also noticed

each dog teacher plays different games

with classmates.

I’m best at fetch.

Even if you throw a tiny hairpin,

I can quickly

pick it up and bring it to you.

That’s amazing!

I’m Momo.

I know the most games.

Everyone calls me the teacher of dog teachers.

You’re great too!

My turn!

I’m the best at being cute.

That’s a great skill too!

You really are a dog teacher!

Class dismissed!

Chiffon is so fast—wait up!

Caught up!

What are Chiffon and Milk Tea doing?

Dogs have an amazing sense of smell.

Besides the smell of grass,

there are scents left by other dogs.

It’s a fun experience for them.

Oh, they’re identifying scents.

I thought they were looking for something.

After class,

dog teachers are just playful dogs.

They also love food and play,

just like pets at home.

Sister,

I want a dog teacher as a friend too!

Since dog teachers have no home,

let’s become their family!

Lele,

these dog teachers

were once strays,

but after becoming dog teachers,

they have homes now!

Really? That’s awesome!

Now I won’t worry

where you’ll sleep at night.

Lele, thanks for caring.

Now we’re all loved!

Sister, let me tell you,

I hope all stray dogs

can become dog teachers,

therapy dogs.

That’s a great wish!

Even though I’m only 5,

I want to know

how to help strays

become dog teachers sooner.

There’s a lot you can do!

From adoption

to training them to be dog teachers,

we need to spend more time with people,

so we won’t be afraid or nervous.

不緊張的習慣

Lele is too young to be a trainer or volunteer,

but can talk with your parents

about applying to become a foster family.

Let us live with you for a while!

Do you want to stay at my house?

Yay! Welcome!

It’s not so easy to be a foster family.

可沒那麼容易

Therapy dog trainers

will carefully check

if your family is suitable

before letting us stay.

No problem!

Now I’m great at being with dogs.

I learned five things about getting along with dogs.

學了五件和狗狗相處要注意的事

1. Don’t look dogs in the eye.

2. Let dogs sniff you first

so they remember you.

3. Don’t make loud noises or sudden moves.

4. Don’t be afraid of barking.

5. Watch their body language

to know what they’re thinking.

With me here,

our family can be a good foster family for dog teachers!

狗老師寄宿家庭

Besides being a foster family,

there’s one more thing Lele can do.

Tell me!

Share our story with others.

Let more people know about therapy dogs

and what dog teachers do.

Then more people will learn about dogs’ healing powers.

No problem!

I’ll draw what happened today,

and tell Kangkang and Xinxin.

Your sharing is the best help for us.

I’ll be a great helper!

Kids,

every dog teacher has a different personality.

Which one impressed you most?

Write to me and

tell me which dog teacher you most want as a good friend!

這裡就是學校嗎

有好多間教室

還有正在上課的學生

姊姊你看

教室裡有狗狗

我沒有看錯吧

這是狗狗學校嗎

狗狗也要上學

同學你好

我是戚風

戚風你好

我是樂樂

你是這個班級的學生嗎

沒禮貌

我們是狗老師

你們是

老師

可是你是狗耶

你會教英文嗎

還是數學

太小看我了吧

我們的工作有趣多了啦

狗老師呢

會和小朋友一起玩遊戲呢

太酷了

我聽說過警察狗狗

緝毒狗狗

沒想到還有老師狗狗

那是當然的

我們狗老師是很厲害的

樂樂知道嗎

這群狗老師

又叫做心輔犬

牠們原本是流浪動物

要經過長時間的訓練

才能成為狗老師

牠們的工作

是陪伴需要幫助的人

流浪

你們為什麼不回家啊

我們是一群

不知道家在哪裡的流浪狗

從前的我

一直都住在街上

沒有家

直到有一天我被人發現

他們把我送進

高雄壽山動物之家

那你怎麼從動物之家

變來這裡的

我記得很清楚喔

我在動物之家

住了一個冬天又一個夏天

有一天 有一群人

他們說要來找特別的狗狗

沒想到他們看到我以後

說我有一點特別

特別

特別黑

不是啦

是特別親切啦

特別黑

後來

戚風就來到這裡陪我

也開始接受訓練

成為狗老師了

玩遊戲還要訓練呀

拜託

那是當然的呀

我們都是經過很多關卡

才成為合格的狗老師的

你是誰

這是囍糖

牠是正在接受訓練的

實習狗老師

Wait

我看懂了

這個動作是

「等一下」的意思

不錯嘛

居然看得懂

因為我還有聽見

訓練師跟囍糖說 wait 呀

我知道英文 wait

就是「等一下」的意思

那你要不要猜猜看

這個手勢代表什麼呢

這是什麼意思呀

小朋友 和我一起猜猜看

這個動作是什麼意思呢

1 招手來來來

2 比誰力氣大

3 我很勇敢

Come

我知道了

答案是 1

招手來來來

答對嘍

這可是跟我們狗老師的

打招呼方式喔

奇怪

為什麼不直接招手

這樣不是比較快嗎

樂樂 等等

你動作太大 嚇到囍糖了啦

對不起 對不起

我不是故意要嚇你

想跟我們狗老師打招呼的話

動作要慢一點 輕一點

記得把手心朝內

不要讓我們覺得

你拿著東西亂揮

說的也是

這個動作跟丟東西也很像

難怪囍糖會嚇到

我們狗老師

都是曾經在外面流浪過的狗狗

個性比起一般寵物犬

會更小心謹慎

我知道了

還有什麼要注意的嗎

想和我們自然相處

要學會這五件事情

第一件事情也是最重要的

不可以直視狗狗的眼睛

為什麼不行

姊姊說跟人說話的時候

要看著眼睛

才有禮貌呀

我們狗狗覺得

直視眼睛是一種威脅

就好像盯著獵物看一樣

說的也是

那第二件事情呢

第二件事

是讓狗狗記得味道

記得剛剛來來來的動作嗎

記得

你試試把囍糖叫到你身邊

囍糖

來來來

我成功了

囍糖好像很喜歡我耶

我可以摸囍糖嗎

No No No

先不要急

第二件事情是認識味道

好吧 那給你聞味道

樂樂

不用這樣緊張

放輕鬆一點

先讓囍糖用鼻子來認識你

狗狗對味道很敏感

只要我們願意靠近你

就會記得你的味道

這也是我們認人的方式喔

接下來呢

嚇我一跳

樂樂小聲一點

不要嚇到囍糖

剛剛明明是囍糖比較大聲

還不是因為你忽然轉頭

囍糖才會嚇一跳

突然的聲音或動作

都會嚇到狗狗

樂樂要記得保持

輕聲細語和慢動作

我知道了

第四件事情很重要

我們狗狗平時不會忽然大叫

每當我們汪汪汪的時候

一定是因為我們有想說的話

這個時候

就要認真觀察對嗎

沒錯 沒錯

那我要怎麼看懂

你們在說什麼呢

我也不聽不懂

汪汪汪跟嗷嗷嗷啊

狗狗的身體動作

會表達出情緒跟想說的話喲

這也剛好是第五件事

牠舔舌頭

是不是肚子餓

這不是想吃東西啦

這是在說

我有一點緊張喔

牠看起來很害怕

沒錯

這個時候

我們也會往後退

避開危險

那搖尾巴的狗狗

是代表很開心嘍

那可不一定喲

每當我看見陌生人靠近時

我也會搖尾巴

但我還會後退

真不愧是謹慎的狗老師

那是當然的嘍

上課嘍 上課嘍

今天是哪位狗老師呢

( 奶茶 Come )

來來來

這是打招呼

我也會

來來來

戚風從同學們的

腳腳中間跑過去了

看起來像火車穿山洞

小朋友們怎麼都躺著

他們在睡午覺嗎

這個遊戲叫做

狗老師找找看

小朋友們身上藏著狗零食

奶茶真厲害

一下子就找到零食了

狗狗的嗅覺很靈敏的喲

我好像也聞到零食的味道了

沒想到除了小朋友以外

狗老師和爺爺奶奶們

也相處得很好

樂樂你看

狗老師在上課

大家都笑得很開心呢

我還發現

每個狗老師和同學玩的遊戲

好像都不一樣

我最擅長你丟我撿了

把細小的髮夾丟在地上

我也可以很快的

撿起來拿給你哦

太厲害了

我是墨墨

我會的遊戲最多

大家都說我是狗老師的老師

你也不賴嘛

換我換我

我最會撒嬌

這也是很厲害的事情

真不愧是狗老師

下課嘍

戚風跑好快 等等我

追上了

戚風和奶茶在做什麼

狗狗的嗅覺非常靈敏

草地上除了植物的味道之外

也有其他狗狗留下的氣味

這對牠們來說是很有趣的體驗

原來是在認味道呀

我還以為是在找什麼東西呢

狗老師們下課後

也是貪玩的狗狗呀

牠們也喜歡吃 喜歡玩

就像家裡的狗朋友一樣

姊姊

我也想要有狗老師當朋友

既然狗老師們沒有家

那我們當牠的家人好嗎

樂樂

這些狗老師們

雖然曾經當過流浪狗

但是自從牠們成為狗老師之後

就有自己的家嘍

真的嗎 太棒了吧

這樣我就不用擔心

你們晚上要睡在哪裡了

樂樂 謝謝你的關心

現在的我們可是大家搶著疼呢

姊姊我跟妳說

我希望所有流浪在外面的狗狗

都能有機會當上狗老師

成為心輔犬

這是個很好的願望呢

雖然我才 5 歲

不過我想知道

怎麼幫助流浪狗狗們

早日成為狗老師

你可以做的事情可多著呢

從流浪犬被領養

到訓練成為狗老師之前

我們需要多跟人類相處

養成不怕生

不緊張的習慣

樂樂的年紀還不能當訓練師或志工

但可以和爸爸媽媽商量

申請成為狗狗們的寄宿家庭

讓我們到你家裡生活一陣子

要來我家住嗎

好耶 歡迎來玩

想要成為寄宿家庭

可沒那麼容易

心輔犬訓練師們

會很認真的檢查

確認是否合適

才會讓我有機會到你們家裡去住

沒問題的

我現在可是很會跟狗狗相處的

我和狗老師們

學了五件和狗狗相處要注意的事

1 不能直視狗狗的眼睛

2 要先讓狗狗聞一聞

讓狗狗記得我

3 不可以發出太大的聲音和動作

4 不用害怕狗狗的叫聲

5 觀察狗狗的動作

知道狗狗在想什麼

有我在

我們家一定能成為合格的

狗老師寄宿家庭

除了成為寄宿家庭之外

還有一件事情也是樂樂可以努力的

快告訴我

把我們的故事說出去

讓更多人知道心輔犬

狗老師是什麼

就會有更多人認識狗狗的療癒力量

沒問題

我要把今天發生的事情畫下來

和康康跟心心說

你的分享就是我們最棒的幫助

我一定會成為好幫手的

小朋友

每位狗老師的個性都不同

你對誰的印象最深刻呢

寫信告訴我

你最想和誰成為好朋友吧
