问题详情:
Holiday visitors to Waikiki Beach, Hawaii, may do a double look at the four-legged surfer riding into shore, but the regulars are always calm. They know the eight-year-old pug is Bugsy, a local star whose owner, David Yew, taught the dog to surf.
Yew, 39, got the idea while he and Bugsy were walking on the beach and came upon a statue of a surfer. Yew put the dog down on the surfboard to take a photo, and the scene looked so natural that Yew was inspired to take the next step. Soon enough, the two were together surfing.
“The first time we paddled out, ”Yew says, “Bugsy ran right to the front of the board. ”
The two ride a 3. 35 m, rubber-filled long board. “It gives Bugsy a better hold, ”Yew says. He loves the water and dog-paddles so well that Yew has trouble keeping up.
Bugsy wasn’t always so energetic. Two days after Yew, a doctor of emergency medicine, adopted the 12-week-old puppy from a shelter, Bugsy came down with a bad cough, which progressed to pneumonia(肺炎). Yew rushed the pug to the emergency department of an animal hospital, where he stayed until Yew could no longer afford to keep him there. Bugsy needed further treatment, so Yew built his own ICU(重症监护室)in his apartment. He covered an empty fish tank with plastic to use it for further treatments and gave the sick puppy intravenous antibiotics(静脉注*抗生素). Bugsy pulled through.
Since then, the doctor and the dog have been inseparable. “Saving Bugsy’s life created unconditional trust between us, ”Yew says.
The pair surf together every week and have shared other activities, including skydiving. At Yew’s wedding to dentist Aimee Kim last year, Bugsy in a dress carried the rings down the aisle placed in a pillow on his back.
Bugsy and Yew have given up skydiving, at the bride’s insistence. But hang up the board? No way. Says Yew, “I want this dog to experience the same joy that I have in my life. ”

A. Because Bugsy didn’t need to receive further treatment.
B. Because there was no ICU in the hospital.
C. Because as a doctor, Yew could do better.
D. Because Yew couldn’t afford Bugsy’s treatment any longer.
