She loves going for walks, living in a kennel (狗窝), and even “barking”. Jerry and Dawn Watkins took the bird into their family after it was found wandering around a car park, and were puzzled when it took a liking to their pet Labradors (拉布拉多犬)—Teal and Widgeon. Mr. Watkins, 55, the National Director for Equine Welfare at Horse World in Bristol, says, “We got a call from a member of the public after they found her. She’s a very friendly bird. We were very careful about introducing her to the dogs, but Cranberry seemed unconcerned. The dogs were just interested.” Strangely, even though Labradors are bred to hunt game birds, the eight-year-old bird is the leader of the pack among her friends. Mr. Watkins says, “She’s the boss. She will steal the dog’s feed, and they would never dream of trying to get it back from her. She’s now got her own dog bowl for her corn and dog biscuits to stop her stealing food from the dogs. Every morning, we let them out and the dogs follow her around.” “Once animals get to know each other, they understand each other’s body language and behavior, so it doesn’t really surprise me. The only thing she won’t do is fetch. She picks things up but just eats them.” Cranberry has her own kennel right next door to the dogs’ day kennel, but can be found relaxing in the house. Mr. Watkins says, “She loves being stroked. If you stroke her, she relaxes instantly.” Cranberry loves wandering around with the dogs, and has even proved to be a great “guard dog”. Mrs. Watkins, 34, a lecturer at Norton Radstock College, says, “If someone is coming up the garden path, she’s really useful, because she’s got her own alert call.” 26. Cranberry was _______ when people found her. A. playing with dogs B. relaxing in a kennel C
