BUSTER’S SECRET DIARIES
Book ID/图书代码： 00200007B12174
English Summary/英文概要： Buster became famous as a young dog in 1996 after he defended himself against a goose in St James’s Park - a goose which, unfortunately, belonged to the Queen. Pursued by the press ever since, he has sought solace in writing. Never before has the reading public been offered such insight into the canine world. The indignities of a train journey, tied to a table while bacon sandwiches pass by. Told to ’hush’ no matter how incisive the contribution to a conversation. The diaries also reveal the strain of living with the Man - a sad figure who would like to be a dog but lacks the necessary talent. Buster’s duties include protecting the Man from friends who want to talk to him, and making sure that everybody knows when the telephone rings. When Buster first wrote, he was a puppy. Although older and wiser, he still gets into lots of scrapes with fur and feathers. Unlike the House of Lords, Buster approves of euthanasia and helped a 21-year-old cat, which jumped into his garden, draw her life peacefully to a close. As Buster has aged, his sight and hearing are failing somewhat but he still wants to ’go courting’ - especially in springtime. Buster remains unaware of what happened that day at the vet’s, and no-one will explain it to him, but they continue to allude to something. Despite that setback, Buster’s Secret Diaries celebrate a dog’s joy at owning a human.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 1996年，作为一条年轻的小狗，布斯特已经很出名了，原因是它曾在圣 詹姆斯公园里，击败了一只攻击它的鹅，这可不是一只简单的鹅，这是女王的鹅。从那以后，铺天盖地的新闻都指向了它，这也让布斯特在报道中找到点欣慰。在本书之前，还未曾有其他书从这个视角来审视犬类的世界。狗往往被作为看家的动物，或以几根骨头的诱惑而被唤来唤去。这本日记揭示了狗与人类相处的不融洽，人类，可以说是没有天赋的可怜虫。布斯特的职责包括保护人类不受别人的干扰，并且当电话响的时候，“通知”全家人。布斯特第一次出现在书中的时候，它还只是个小小狗。尽管现在成熟了一点，聪明了一点，它还是经常全身沾满了羽毛和刮伤。和它的主人不同，布斯特赞同安乐死，并曾帮助一个误入它的院子的21岁的老猫平静的死去。随着布斯特越来越年迈，视力和听力都急剧下降，但它仍然充满了精力，每逢春天来临，总不忘“求爱”呢。但是主人们都在说什么呢？为什么他们从来都不跟布斯特解释那天在兽医那里发生了什么？《布斯特的秘密日记》记录了一条狗的快乐，因为它拥有了人类的灵魂。
