week02-Surfing Dogs

News link


Who is top dog of the California waves?

About 50 animals wearing life jackets took part in the annual dog surfing competition in San Diego.

They were eager to follow their owners to the water and looked pretty confident and skilled at keeping their balance on the surfboards.

The owners guarantee that their pets are safe and enjoying the ride. At least this dog seems happy.

The event raises money for the San Diego Humane Society and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

week01-Greetings!

Hello! I'm May, come from Taichung but I’ve lived in Taipei. I'm a typical Libra, so it's easy to hesitate. I’m studying in the Department of Information Management of the NTUB. I’m slow-to-warm-up to other people, so I have to take quite a long time to become buddies with some new friends. My hobbies are listening to music and traveling because they let me feel relaxed. I think it's cool to use technology to solve human' problems, so I would like to do related jobs in the future.
