The Nepal Red Cross Society has voted to pay a monthly salary to a wounded stray dog that has taken on the job of guarding its office.
「尼泊爾紅十字會」（NRCS）已表決通過，付月薪給一條已承擔戍守其辦公室工作的受傷流浪狗。
NRCS president Man Bahadur Budathoki said the dog had turned up at the organisation’s premises in the east of the country last month and remained there ever since, barking at any stranger who approached.
NRCS會長曼恩．巴哈杜．布達索基說，這條狗上個月出現在該組織位於該國東部的物業，此後一直待在那裡，對任何靠近的陌生人狂吠。
The NRCS working committee voted on Sunday to pay it 1,000 rupees （$15） a month, plus overtime for weekends.
NRCS工作委員會週日表決通過，每個月支付牠1000盧比（15美元）的薪水，另外週末有加班費。
"The dog is doing such a great job that we might even get rid of our night guard," Mr Budathoki said.
「這條狗做得非常好，以致我們甚至可以不用請夜班保全，」布達索基說。
"We will use the money to buy it good food and it will have meat at least once a day."
「我們將使用這筆錢去買好料給牠，牠一天將至少一餐有肉吃。」
"It will also be given milk and biscuits, which it seems to really like. We want to inspire other people to treat dogs well."
「也將給牠牛奶與比斯吉，看起來是牠所喜歡的。我們想鼓勵其他人善待狗。」
Mr Budathoki said staff at the Red Cross had taken pity on the dog, a large black mongrel, when it arrived wounded on their doorstep.
布達索基說，紅十字會員工同情這條狗，一條大型的黑色雜種狗，當牠帶著傷來到他們的門前台階時。
