无情的主人放弃了超重的猎犬，兽医给它找了一个新的有爱的家

Taking care of a pet is never an easy task. Sadly, grooming, socializing them, taking care of nutrition, making sure their health is good and many other things can get a bit overwhelming for some people. So instead of getting help or simply trying harder for their pets, some people resort to placing their pets up for adoption or even worse. This is exactly what happened to Kai – a beautiful and friendly golden retriever who had put on a lot of weight while living with his owner, who then decided that Kai is too much trouble and decided to put him down.

照顾宠物从来都不是一件容易的事。遗憾的是，对一些人来说，梳洗打扮、与它们交往、照顾它们的营养、确保它们的健康以及其他许多事情可能会让它们不知所措。因此，有些人没有得到帮助，或者只是为它们的宠物更加努力，而是把它们的宠物送人领养，甚至更糟。这正是发生在凯身上的事情——一只美丽而友好的金毛寻回犬，和它的主人住在一起时体重增加了很多，而主人认为凯太麻烦了，决定把它送走。

However, once the dog was taken to the clinic, the vet refused to euthanize the canine. Instead, the vet called Misfits of Alberta Animal Rescue which helped Kai find a new home.

然而，一旦这只狗被带到诊所，兽医拒绝对它实施安乐死。相反，兽医打电话给亚伯达动物救助组织，帮助凯找到了新家。

This is how he met his rescuer Pam Heggie. When she took him home, Kai was as big as a table, she told Good Morning America.

这是它如何遇到他的救命恩人帕姆·赫吉。当她带它回家的时候，凯像一张桌子那么大，她对《早安美国》说。

The pooch weighed 173 pounds and had to lose more than half of his weight. Being this overweight, it took Kai 20 minutes to climb a small set of stairs so he could enter Pam’s house.

这只狗重173磅，必须减掉一半以上的体重。由于超重，凯花了20分钟爬上一段小楼梯，才得以进入帕姆的家。

The new owner knew that it will be a long and tough process for Kai to lose the excess weight and get back to his normal life. But unlike Kai’s previous owner, Pam refused to give up on him.

新主人知道，凯要减掉多余的体重，恢复正常生活，将是一个漫长而艰难的过程。但不像凯以前的主人，帕姆拒绝放弃它。

Kai was put on a strict diet and started water therapy to strengthen his legs and build stamina. Pam started taking him for a walk three times a day. “Literally, he went five to 10 steps, and then he would lay down and start panting,” she said. But Kai didn’t give up either.

凯被严格控制饮食，并开始接受水疗法，以加强它的腿和建立耐力。帕姆开始每天它他散步三次。“实际上，它走了5到10步，然后它会躺下来，开始喘气，”她说。但是凯也没有放弃。

Eventually, he was able to walk further and further, climb stairs and even started running in the park. The progress was stunning.

最后，它能够走得越来越远，爬楼梯，甚至开始在公园里跑步。进展令人震惊。

It took almost a year, but he managed to lose 100 pounds and become a normal, healthy, and happy dog. While at first, Pam was just fostering him, she eventually made a decision to adopt.

花了将近一年的时间，它成功地减掉了100磅，成为了一只正常、健康、快乐的狗。起初，帕姆只是在抚养它，但她最终决定收养它。

After all, he’s clearly not an ordinary dog, but a true fighter. “He truly amazes me every day,” Heggie said through tears.

毕竟，它显然不是一只普通的狗，而是一个真正的斗士。“它每天都让我惊喜不已，”赫吉含泪说道。

It’s truly inspiring to know how much determination a living creature can have. “He shows you how to do a really big task literally one day at a time. He doesn’t worry about yesterday, he doesn’t worry about tomorrow, he just focuses on what needs to be done today and he does it. We can learn a lot from dogs.” Heggie said.

知道一个生物有多大的决心真的很令人鼓舞。“它向你展示了如何每天完成一项真正重大的任务。它不担心昨天，也不担心明天，它只专注于今天需要做的事情，然后它就去做了。我们可以从狗身上学到很多。”赫吉说。
