有很多愛(ài)狗的人士都養(yǎng)了陪伴自己的一只狗狗，狗的品種也是多種多樣的，在這些狗狗的身上也有很多有意思的故事發(fā)生。

Springer spaniel Ruby is Britain's most successfulmoney detection dog. She detected 10.5m poundsof illicit cash in the five years she has been adetector dog.

史賓格犬"魯比"是英國(guó)最成功的嗅錢(qián)犬，在服役的五年時(shí)間里，她總共截獲了1050萬(wàn)英鎊的違禁現(xiàn)金。

6歲的魯比在英國(guó)倫敦希思羅機(jī)場(chǎng)工作，在這里，她成功"破案"數(shù)百起。其中，截獲的最大單筆金額是一名赴泰乘客手提行李中的20萬(wàn)英鎊現(xiàn)金和銀行匯票。

Even royalty is not immune to her smelling powers, and she was caught instinctively sniffingthe Queen's handbag during a visit to the Home Office in November.

即使是對(duì)皇室，這只母犬也毫不"徇私"。去年11月魯比前往內(nèi)政部做客時(shí)，還本能地嗅了嗅英國(guó)女王伊麗莎白二世的手提包。

Ruby's record-breaking success during her five-year career is a huge boost to Britain'scrackdown on money smuggling in the fight against terror.

在她的五年職業(yè)生涯當(dāng)中，魯比創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄般的成功對(duì)于英國(guó)對(duì)抗恐怖、鎮(zhèn)壓走私來(lái)說(shuō)是有巨大的推動(dòng)作用。

Ruby specialises in detecting the scent of ink on banknotes, which is much harder than sniffingfor drugs or explosives because the smell of money varies more.

Ruby非常擅長(zhǎng)檢測(cè)涂在鈔票上油墨的香味。由于錢(qián)幣味道的不同，所以這與嗅探毒品、爆炸物相比要困難許多。

During a ten-hour shift she will check around four flights, which carry thousands of pieces ofluggage and up to 580 people.

魯比”能一口氣在機(jī)場(chǎng)工作10小時(shí)，并嗅探大約4個(gè)航班的580名旅客及上千件行李。

When she finds a scent, Ruby will 'freeze' at its strongest point, pointing at it with her nose.

當(dāng)她發(fā)現(xiàn)疑點(diǎn)時(shí)，就會(huì)立時(shí)停下身子，用鼻子直指可疑物品。

Her handler, Border Force officer Dave Bellingham, 38, said: 'She is brilliant, a very, very specialdog. She's really enthusiastic for her work. To her, it is a game, like hide-and-seek ... Butshe's so good at finding it.'

38歲的“魯比”訓(xùn)練員戴夫·貝林厄姆自豪地說(shuō)：“她是一只聰明、特別的狗，而且相當(dāng)熱愛(ài)工作。對(duì)她來(lái)說(shuō)，這是一個(gè)捉迷藏的游戲……而她總能找到!”
