Gail Mirabella works as a dog trainer for a circus (马戏团). She used to train her dogs to do tricks when she was a kid. Finally, her hobby turned into her job. Several days ago, she talked to Time Magazine reporter, Cameron Young, about her love for dogs.

Reporter: Did you always want to be a dog trainer in a circus?

Mirabella: When I was a little kid, I did my first dog show, a kid’s dog show. And I took first place (第一名). From then on, I knew I wanted to work with dogs, but who would know I’d be in a circus?

Reporter: Did you have any dogs growing up?

Mirabella: Of course. I had a white dog when I was a little baby. Three years later, it died. And then we got two family dogs. On my fourteenth birthday, my uncle bought me a dog. It was a big dog.

Reporter: How long does it take you to train a dog, one month, half a year or one year?

Mirabella: That depends on the dog. I have thirteen dogs and I let them all play together, but I do a lot of special work with each dog. They know I am their owner because I do all the feeding.

Reporter: If you aren’t a dog trainer, what will you be?

Mirabella: A dog. Just joking. I will probably still work with animals.
