I would describe Diesel as a miniature version of me.

我會把 Diesel 形容成迷你版的我。

He is small, he is loud, and he is sassy.

他很小隻，但很大聲，且他很有自信。

He thinks that he's the center of my attention all the time.

他認為他是我注意力的唯一中心。

But I am very strict with him because he is not a pet.

但我對他很嚴厲，因為他並不是寵物。

My role here at the airport is to make people feel safe.

我在機場的角色是要讓人們感到安全。

We want people to know that there's a security presence here and that if there's something here, we're going to find it.

我們想要讓人們知道這裡有安全人員，且我們會找出所有潛在危險。

We're looking for explosives or anything suspicious.

我們會檢查是否有爆炸物或任何可疑物品。

We do everything from checking cars, bags, garbage cans, passengers lining up...

我們什麼都檢查，從車子、行李、垃圾桶到排隊的人們...

We go to the restricted side, we can do planes.

我們可以進到限制區，也可以上機搜查。

基本上，我們在機場來去自如。

We are working a lot with the police and we respond to a lot of serious calls.

我們與警方密切合作，對一些重要的通報電話做出回應。

And then, a lot of it is also us training, to make sure that Diesel stays on his toes and he knows that he's not just strolling around the airport for fun.

有很多時間是訓練時間，讓 Diesel 保持警覺，讓他知道他並不是在機場閒逛而已。

The reason why we train so much is because, in an environment like this, it's very unique.

我們有大量的訓練，原因是這個環境很特別。

People who don't speak English, people who are scared of dogs, which is something that I deal with a lot.

有不會講英文的人、怕狗的人，這也是我常面對的事。

When Diesel finds something, you can tell a switch goes off in his brain.

當 Diesel 察覺了什麼，你能發現他腦中的警鈴開始大響了。

Like he becomes very serious and very focused.

He doesn't care about food, he doesn't care about toys, until he finds what he's looking for.

他不在乎食物或玩具，直到他找到目標為止。

I have always been pretty determined about what I wanted to do.

一直以來，我對自己想做的事情非常堅定。

I knew that I wanted to work with animals. I just didn't know how to get into that.

我一直都知道我想跟動物一起工作，但當時還不知道明確的路。

So, I decided to go into law enforcement studies.

所以我決定進入執法機關學校。

And Securiguard actually came to my school and did a presentation about their canine program.

且當時安保服務公司來我們學校，做了關於犬隻專案的說明。

As soon as I saw that this was a possibility, I was like, right in.

當時看見這個機會，我馬上便投入了。

It didn't feel like work when I was training, and it didn't feel like work when I was working.

正式訓練與工作時我的感覺都不像在工作。

So, I was like, "This is great. They're paying me to do stuff that I'd be doing anyways."

我當時就想「這太棒了，他們付錢給我做我本來就會做的事。」

Yes, this is the best job ever, but it's also a lifestyle.

沒錯，這是最棒的工作，但這同時也是種生活。

People think that the dog is in a room at the airport when we go home at night, which is not true.

人們認為當我們下班回家時，狗狗會被關在機場某個房間，但這並不正確。

You need to take care of this animal 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

But, if it's your passion, it doesn't feel like work.

但若這是你的熱情所在，便不會有在工作的感覺。

And I don't see a better thing that I could be doing.
