A US military dog who lost her leg while on duty in Afghanistan has become
the first to be awarded the animal equivalent of a British Victoria Cross.
这条美国军犬在阿富汗执行任务时失去了一条腿,现成为第一只被授予等同于动物界“英国维多利亚十字勋章”的狗狗。
German Shepherd Lucca, aged 12, completed over 400 separate missions during
six years of active service with the U.S. military, where she would sniff out
explosives.
12岁的德国牧羊犬卢卡,六年中在美国军队的服役过程中完成了400次任务——全靠她来嗅出爆炸物。
It is believed she protected the lives of thousands of allied troops during
her career, with there being no human casualties during any of her patrols.
在卢卡的职业生涯中,她保护了成千上万盟军部队的生命,每一次(只要)她巡逻,无一人员伤亡。
