[2021.07.16.Fri]입이 트이는 영어 Parting with a Companion Animal

[Speaking] Talk about parting with a beloved companion animal
I first met our pet dog Lina in May, four years ago. Our family adopted Lina when she'd just turned 10 through a home care program for retired guide dogs. She was our first companion dog but we had to part ways less than 4 years after we first met.
I knew what was coming, since the average of life expectancy for Labrador retrievers is just 12 to 14 years. But I didn't know the day would come so soon. Lina ate well, and went for a walk, even until the day before she left us.
I'll never forget the look in Lena's eyes when she stared at me from the door as my wife took her for a walk the night before. I was filled with guilty that I didn't join her for her last walk. I only hope that Lina's four years with us were a happy time for her and that she rests in peace in doggy heaven.
반려견 리나를 처음 만나건 4년전 5월 이었습니다. 우리가족은 은퇴한 안내견을 위한 입양 프로그램을 통해서 이제 막 10살이 된 리나를 입양하게 되었습니다. 리나는 우리가 함께한 첫 반려견이었습니다. 그러나 만난지 4년도 채 되지 못해서 보내줘야 했습니다.
래브라도리트리버는 평균수명이 12~14년이라서 예견하고 있었습니다. 그러나 그 날이 이렇게 빨리 올 줄은 몰랐습니다. 리나는 떠나기 전날 까지도 밥도 잘 먹고 산책도 잘 했습니다. 떠나기 전날 밤, 아내가 산책을 시키러 나갈 때, 리나가 문앞에서 저를 빤히 바라보던 그 눈빛을 잊을 수가 없습니다. 마지막 산책을 함께하지 못했다는 죄책감을 떨쳐내기 힘듭니다. 우리와 함께한 4년이 리나에게 행복한 시간이었길 바라고, 천국에서 편하게 쉬기를 기도합니다.
