Kristi Cooney, the president of Good Sense Dogs, was there to explain to the 18-year-old that it just meant the cat was happy. “Good Sense Dogs”的董事長Kristi Cooney給他解釋——貓咪發(fā)出呼嚕聲，意味著這只貓很開心呀！ Craig, like most of the kids Cooney works with, had limited experience with animals before taking Ahead with Tails classes, a program by Good Sense Dogs. The program is meant to help students develop kindness toward animals. Craig和Cooney項目里大多數孩子一樣——在參加“Good Sense Dogs”開設的“Ahead with Tails”課程之前，對動物的認知有限。這個項目旨在培養(yǎng)學生對小動物的愛心。 Cooney has been leading Ahead with Tails for nearly three years, providing youth with the opportunity to take care of animals and develop vocational (職業(yè)的) skills by training dogs. Cooney負責“Ahead with Tails”項目已經有近三年的時間了。這個項目是通過訓練狗狗，為年輕人提供照顧動物以及學習職業(yè)技能的機會。 Cooney hopes that students can extend (擴展) the skills they’ve developed in the program to human relationships as well. Cooney希望學生能夠將他們在項目中學到的東西，靈活擴展到他們的人際關系中去。 Cooney said she realized that by bringing animals to youth, she might be able to foster (培養(yǎng)) students’ compassion (同情心) and ability to put themselves in others’ shoes. Cooney說，她意識到讓青少年親近動物，或許能夠培養(yǎng)他們的同情心和共情能力。（一起做一個柔軟又可愛的人吧�。�
