Almost everyone likes dogs, and almost everyone likes reading stories about dogs. I have a friend. The friend has a large police dog. Its name is Jack. Police dogs are often very clever. Every Sunday afternoon my friend takes Jack for a long walk in the park. Jack likes these long walks very much.

One Sunday afternoon a young man came to visit my friend. He stayed a long time. He talked and talked. Soon it was time for my friend to take Jack for his walk. But the visitor still stayed. Jack became very worried. He walked around the room several times and then sat down in front of the visitor and looked at him. But the visitor paid no attention. He continued (继续) talking. Finally Jack couldn’t stand (忍受) it. He went out of the room and came back a few minutes later. He sat down again in front of the visitor but this time he held the visitor’s hat in his mouth and ran out of the room.

Pandas are very popular in China. People around the world like this black and white animal very much, too. Ya Ya is among them. Now let’s know more about Ya Ya.

When Ya Ya was born in the Beijing Zoo, she weighed about 0.14 kilos. For a research and protection plan, she was taken to the Memphis Zoo in Tennessee in 2003. But there was something wrong with her fur in 2006. Her health condition became worse in 2014. Experts at the Memphis Zoo and in China tried many ways but couldn’t solve the problems. On April 27, Ya Ya returned to China after staying for 20 years in America. The panda was then quarantined(隔离) in Shanghai Zoo before moving to Beijing. On May 29, Ya Ya arrived at its home, the Beijing Zoo.

The Beijing Zoo has prepared a special feeding place for Ya Ya as well as feeding plans, care and medical support, according to the National Forestry and Grassland Administration. As she is old, she needs to rest and adapt(适应) to the new environment. So she will not be visited for a short period of time. The zoo will tell the public about Ya Ya’s health condition through its official Weibo account, according to the administration.

A lot of people pay much attention to Ya Ya. They hope she will get better soon.
