Argos, now old, sick and abandoned, was lying on a pile of filth outside the gates. But the moment he saw Odysseus, he wagged his tail and dropped his ears in recognition. Too weak to move, he greeted his master one last time.
Then, having waited 20 years for that moment, he passed away.

二舅之前帶回來一隻超級無敵大的狼狗，第一眼看到真是嚇鼠人，不過狼狗好乖好聰明，我都把他栓在腳踏車上，帶狼狗去散步就可以拉著我移動，完全都不用踩耶！力量真的大！是個馬車的概念？
記得狼狗跟我後來很親，我出門都要跟著我，去文具店買東西，他會在外頭乖乖等我，甚至我早上上學騎到學校，他都要一路跟著我，我趕他回去不准他進學校（進去肯定嚇鼠人），狠下心來轉身騎進去車棚不理他，放學後回到家時看到他已經在家門口等我！真是好聰明又好乖！不過後來短短一陣子就不知被安排到哪裡去了，突然很懷念那段時光！

AI Overview
Beatrix Potter featured one dog prominently in her stories: Kep, a rough collie who appears in The Tale of Jemima Puddle-duck. She also owned other dogs, including a spaniel named Spot and two Pekinese dogs, Tzusee and Chuleh. Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Long before children fell in love with the world of Peter Rabbit, Beatrix Potter was kneeling in the woods with a sketchbook and microscope—documenting mushrooms.
Not for fun. For science.
A self-taught naturalist, Potter was fascinated by fungi. She spent years collecting specimens, observing them with a steady hand and an artist’s eye. While male scientists overlooked their subtle forms and fleeting colors, Potter captured them in hundreds of illustrations so accurate, they’re still used by mycologists today.
She wasn’t just drawing—she was thinking.
Potter developed her own theories about how fungi reproduce, studying spore germination under her microscope. In 1897, she submitted a paper to the Linnean Society of London, one of the most respected scientific institutions of its time. But because she was a woman, she wasn't allowed to present it. And without a voice to defend her findings, the work was dismissed.
Still, she didn’t stop.
She kept studying. Kept drawing. Kept learning. But eventually, she realized that the doors of science would not open for her.
So, she built her own.
She turned her skills to storytelling—still rooted in nature, still observant, still meticulous. Her animal tales weren’t just charming—they were grounded in biology, behavior, and detail. And through them, she reached millions.
Beatrix Potter was more than an author.
She was a scientist silenced—and a creator who found another way to be heard.
