(单词翻译)

An estimated one million animals fly each year in America, usually in a plane's cargo1 hold. One such trip for Jack2 Russell Terrier Zoe was enough to convince her owners Alysa Binder3 and Dan Wiesel that pets needed to travel in style. The husband and wife team came up with the idea of Pet Airways4. Some of the 50 'pawssengers', as they're called on America's newest airline, probably couldn't help but wag their tails when the maiden5 flight was ready for take off on Tuesday. One of the first to board was Vito, a Border Collie and Australian Shepherd mix. Her owner, Heather Donahue, saw her off: "Well it was important for me that my dog Vito had a comfortable flight. And he's not a suitcase, you know, he's a family friend and a part of the family, so it was really important for us that he be safe and comfortable and be able to have a vacation with us." Cats and dogs are able to enjoy pre-boarding walks and at each of the five airports Pet Airways serves, there is even a pet lounge providing pre-flight entertainment.
