However, whereas in other countries there is a waiting list of families who want to host guide-dog pups, in Taiwan (despite the large number of people with dogs as pets) there are very few families indeed who are willing to invest the emotional energy required to raise an animal "that doesn't belong to us."
可是，相較於國外申請寄養家庭要排隊的熱門景象，國內愛狗人士雖多，但願意費心養育一隻「不屬於自己的狗」的家庭，卻相對非常稀少。
