宠物狗Cocoa的主人Tom Antonino和Lauren Slepin在可可晚年行动不便的时候，设计了一张可移动床，使狗狗能和家人一起外出散步。

The hardest part of loving an animal is knowing you’ll someday have to say goodbye. Tom Antonino and Lauren Slepin have been proud dog parents to Cocoa for more than 16 years. Normally an energetic dog, Cocoa slowed down quite a bit in her golden years.

爱一只动物最困难的部分是知道有一天你必须说再见。汤姆·安东尼诺和劳伦·斯莱平16多年来一直是可可的骄傲的狗父母。可可通常是一只精力充沛的狗，在她的黄金岁月里会慢很多。

She started having a difficult time with mobility in recent months, but she still wanted to be a part of her parents’ lives. To bring the large dog out of the house where she could get some fresh air and a change of scenery, the couple designed a mobile dog bed. “My wife and I came up with a way, with a mechanics creeper (机械爬行器) and something like that, to take her for walks,” Tom said. “We had rope and a bed and we’d bring her out.”

最近几个月，她开始行动不便，但她仍然想成为父母生活的一部分。为了把大狗带出房子，在那里她可以呼吸新鲜空气和改变风景，这对夫妇设计了一个移动狗床。汤姆说: “我和我妻子想出了一个方法，带着一个机械爬虫之类的东西，带她去散步。”。“我们有绳子和一张床，我们会把她带出来。”

With Cocoa settled comfortably on her bed, Tom pulled the device on a leash so she could enjoy all the places their family loves. They took trips to the dog park and often travelled from their home in Georgia to Virginia Beach, their favorite place.

可可舒适地躺在床上，汤姆用皮带牵引着这个装置，这样她就可以享受他们家人喜欢的所有地方。他们去狗公园旅行，经常从他们在佐治亚州的家旅行到他们最喜欢的弗吉尼亚海滩。

During one of these outings to the beach, Tom ran into a local people named Carrie Copenhaver. Carrie was blown away by their creative solution to Cocoa’s mobility issues, so she asked if she could take a picture of them to share online. Tom, who doesn’t use Facebook, agreed. Little did he know, the post would go viral with millions of views!

在一次去海滩的郊游中，汤姆遇到了一个叫嘉莉·科本哈弗的当地人。嘉莉被他们对可可流动性问题的创造性解决方案震惊了，所以她问是否可以给他们拍张照片在网上分享。不使用脸谱网的汤姆同意了。他一点也不知道，这篇文章会以数百万的浏览量风靡一时!
