新概念阅读：萌狗狗的幸福生活

Candice, a 20-year-old photographer, has a passion for two things: her  golden retriever, Champ, and photography. Over the last few years, she has been  able to successfully bring the two together.

20岁的摄影师坎迪斯热爱两件事物：一是她的金毛猎犬查姆普，二是摄影。过去几年来，她成功地将它们融合在一起。

Candice got 9-week-old Champ as a gift from her dad in the winter of 2002.  She began taking pictures of Champ when she was 13 years old. At first, it was  to create personal memories, but after discovering Champ was a natural born  model, she decided to take full advantage of it.

2002年冬天，坎迪斯的爸爸把只有9周大的查姆普作为礼物送给她。坎迪斯13岁时便开始给查姆普拍照。一开始只是为了给自己留下一些回忆，但在发现了查姆普当模特的天分之后，她随即决定好好地加以利用。

Candice has taken close to 20,000 pictures of Champ over the last seven  years. She now has three photo greeting cards available nationwide. Surrounded  by bubbles, autumn leaves and butterflies, Champ seems to be truly living the  good life.

过去7年里，坎迪斯为查姆普拍了近两万张照片，其中3张被印在贺卡上在全国发行。在气泡、秋叶和蝴蝶的围绕下，查姆普看起来真正过着美好的生活。

Since her father died unexpectedly in 2012, Champ has been a source of  comfort for her. Candice values the special bond between her and Champ above  everything else. And father and daughter linked forever in these images.

2012年夏天，坎迪斯的父亲突然去世，从那以后查姆普就成了她的精神慰藉。坎迪斯认为她和查姆普之间的特殊情谊比什么都重要，而这些照片也让她和父亲永远联系在一起。
