文章大意&心得

兩年前開始,法國西南部的法院開始培訓一隻名為LOL的拉不拉多犬。他們發現狗狗可以有效的讓受害者放鬆一點緊繃的情緒、緩和心情,以利於說出受害的過程。

在法國大城市裡主要犯罪為毒品相關之罪刑,但在農村的鄉鎮往往構成大部分刑事案件的是家庭暴力、性虐待。這也是這些法庭在透過訓練和觀察後開始陸續帶狗狗一同陪受害者參與法庭上的開審或是偵查。

Tina看過相關研究報導表示,狗狗是能讀懂人類情緒的,能解讀人類的表情得知我們是快樂、憤怒或是難過。而且研究也發現狗狗是有同理心的,不管傷心痛哭的人是否是牠的主人,狗都會有安慰的動作,比如用鼻子觸碰或是舌頭舔哭泣的人。

也因此有些心理諮詢師也會帶狗狗來幫助有需要的諮詢者穩定情緒。說實話Tina小時候超怕狗的,尤其是大隻的狗狗,因為曾經被追著跑到跌倒受傷。不過只要狗狗不要追著我,還是覺得牠們挺可愛又忠誠的。親估們愛狗嗎~?


Main Idea & My Thoughts

Since two years ago, the courts in southwestern France has begun training a Labrador who’s named “LOL”. Because they found that dogs can effectively relax the crime victim’s nervous emotion and mitigate the mood, it make them help tell the victimization process.

In France large cities, the main crimes are mostly drug-related crimes. But in rural towns or villages, domestic violence and sexual abuse are often constituted the criminal cases mainly. This is also why these courts began to bring dogs to accompany victims when they participate in court trials or investigations.

Tina has read some relevant research, they said dogs can read and understand human’s emotions. And dogs can interpret human expressions to know whether we are happy, angry or sad. Research was also found that dogs are empathetic. Regardless of the person is their owner or not, if who is sad and crying, the dog will have comforting actions, such as nuzzling the person with his nose or licking the person.

Therefore, some psychologists also will bring dogs to help people who need counsel when they need to stabilize their emotions. To be honest, Tina was very afraid of dogs when I was a child. Because I was chased by one dog and injured when I fell down. But as long as dogs don’t chase me, I still think they are cute and loyal. Do you guys love dogs?
