以前住在桃园县观音乡的乡下，家里养了一只灰色台湾土狗，名叫“来福”。我们家菀佐小时每每叫它“我福、我福”的。它听到小主人喊它，便会很亲切地靠过来和小主人一起玩耍，又跑又跳的，像跟屁虫一样，颇善体人意。

这只趴着睡觉的狗，我们把它安排在枫叶树底下，它睡得正熟，嘴巴用尾毛覆着以取得温暖，还会轻轻地鼾齁呢。至于那凄美的枫叶掉落在它身边，它都不屑一顾了。

We kept a gray dog of a local breed named "Rifle" when we lived in the countryside of Kuanyin Township in Taoyuan County. My son always called him "Wofu" when he was little. It would always come and play when hearing my son called it. It would bound after people like shadow, and it could understand us well.

Here I have painted a sleeping dog underneath a maple tree with red leaves. It is sound asleep. It has covered its face with its tail to keep warm, and is softly snoring. The leaves of the starkly beautiful maple are falling around the dog, but he ignores them.＠
