Xiaobao hears that someone sends their dog to a pet kindergarten, and Xiaogang explains the reason using everyday examples.

小宝
gē gē哥哥wèi shén me为什么nà zhǐ那只xiǎo bái gǒu小白狗měi tiān每天dōuzuò chē坐车chū qù出去

Big brother, why does that little white dog ride in a car every day?

小刚
chǒng wù宠物yòu zhì yuán幼稚园dezhǔ rén主人bái tiān白天yàoshàng bān上班jiā lǐ家里méirénpéi

It goes to a pet kindergarten. Its owner has to work during the day, so no one is home to keep it company.

小宝
yòu zhì yuán幼稚园xiǎo gǒu小狗yàoshàng kè上课ma

Kindergarten? Do puppies have to go to class too?

小刚
bú shì不是xuéyǔ wén语文shù xué数学shìyǒu rén有人péiwándàisàn bù散步jiàobú yào不要luàn jiào乱叫bú yào不要yǎodōng xī东西

It doesn’t learn Chinese or math. Someone plays with it, takes it for walks, and teaches it not to bark randomly or bite things.

小宝

Oh, it’s like when Mom is busy and you play with me.

Yes, pretty much. A puppy might feel scared alone at home and run around. It’s safer there.

小宝

Will it make friends there?

小刚

Yes. But the teachers first check each dog’s personality before letting them play together.

小宝
míng bái明白lebú shì不是dú shū读书shìyǒurénzhào gù照顾dedì fāng地方

Now I understand. It’s not going to study; it’s going somewhere where someone takes care of it.

小刚

Right. When it comes back after school, we can go downstairs and see it.
