The dogs are screened（檢查） for health first. Dogs must have the correct blood type, weigh at least 55 pounds and be younger than 8 years old. They may donate three or four pints（品脫） a year, which can help animals that are suffering from illnesses like cancer or an accident like being hit by a car. One pint can save up to three dogs. Owners volunteer their pets for the short procedure （程序）, which requires no sedative, a kind of medicine given to calm him or her down. It39。s the dog that finally chooses to lie still and give. If the dogs want to get up and leave, they can. Sandy Lucas brought her 7yearold black German shepherd, Rains, to the bloodmobile（流動血站） when it was parked at her small village. Sandy said she wouldn39。t have troubled herself with highway traffic and city parking problems to take the dog to Penn Vet39。s animal hospital in downtown Philadelphia, which is twice as far as her home. But the bloodmobile made it easy to find out if Rains could donate. I was very, very excited that she had the right blood that was needed to help another dog out, said Sandy.

It all began in 1995, when Brian was still a fire fighter. A car accident caused serious damage to his brain. After several months of treatment, Brian39。s doctors said that he would never talk again and would have to spend the rest of his life in a nursing home. However, according to Brian, his two pet parrots didn39。t give up easily. They kept talking to him day and night, until one day, he said one word, then another, and all of a sudden was talking like a normal person again! Brian was so thankful that he decided to set up a home for birds which are not wanted by their owners. Now 15 years later, his house is home to about 80 birds, including a great variety of birds like several macaws, cockatoos and African grays. The birds fly around from room to room, some cackling, others talking like humans. Though they all have big cages, Brian lets them fly freely inside the house. Over the years, Brian has developed a special relationship with birds. The birds who bite other humans, seem to like him and can get along with him well. He is now called a bird whisperer. Brian pays for most of the costs of looking after the birds from his own money, but has recently established a foundation to accept donations. He and his birds also earn money by performing at birthday parties, weddings and other social events. For people who want to adopt Brian39。s birds, they have to volunteer at the foundation for three months, before they can take the pet home.（1）Brian used to be a before setting up the bird foundation.
