動物是我們最好的朋友的16個理由

Sometimes, relationships with humans are … well, complicated. Talk too little, and our human friends might think we’re hiding something. Talk too much, and we’re a bore. If we’re seen in public with a human friend’s significant other, it could get us in a lot of hot water.
有時候，人類之間的友誼就是……呃，太複雜了。如果我們說的話太少了，他們可能會覺得我們在隱瞞什麼事情。如果我們說的話太多了，我們就變成一個討厭鬼了。如果有人當衆發現我們和一個朋友的另一半在一起，我們可能就要被捲入渾水了。
