=“世界最忧伤狗”走红网络=

一只被遗弃的哈巴狗在路边等待主人时被拍到，此后被誉为世界上最忧伤的狗. 这只宠物狗被一个路人拍到，所拍照片被上传至Flickr图片分享网站后迅速走红. 照片上的这只名叫“纽曼先生”的小狗坐在人行道上，被拴在路边的一根灯柱上，看上去很伤心. 这张照片是在加州旧金山市的一家咖啡馆外拍到的. 旧金山颇具波希米亚风格，这或许可以解释为什么这只宠物狗穿了一件灰紫相间的时尚毛衣. 拍下这张照片的克里斯•迈克尔说：“它一直在那里徘徊，似乎在寻找一个爱它的人. 我试着逗它玩，他看到我似乎很开心. ” 在上传至Flickr网站的四张照片中，其中有一张名为“纽曼先生的艰难时日”，图片说明为：“尽管它的毛衣很酷，可也无法赢得女孩们的心. ” 很多网友发表评论称自己被狗狗可怜的眼神所感动. 其中一位写道：“我不时地回来看这些照片，因为它实在是太可爱了. ” 另一名网友称她在看到这些照片后自己也忍不住去买了一只哈巴狗. “纽曼先生”也许赢得了众多网友的心，但它的网络人气可能还无法超越“键盘猫”. 这只颇具音乐才能的宠物猫曾在YouTube网站上迅速走红. A forlorn pug photographed as he waited for his owner by the side of the road has been acclaimed as the world's saddest dog. Pictures of the pet taken by a passer-by have become an internet sensation after being posted on the photo-sharing website Flickr.

The dog – nicknamed Mr Newman – looks inconsolable as he sits on the pavement tied to a lamp-post with his leash. The photograph was taken outside a café in the bohemian Californian city of San Francisco, which may go some way to explaining why he is dressed in a stylish grey and purple sweater. "He was hanging around looking for somebody to love him. I tried to cheer him up – he seemed happy to me," said the photographer Chris Michael. One of the four photos of the dog on Flickr is titled "Tough day for Mr Newman" and captioned: "Despite his cool threads, the girls just aren't interested in him any more." Dozens of commenters on the site said they had been touched by the dog's maudlin gaze. "I come back to see this photo every now and then because it's too darn cute," wrote one. Another viewer said that she had been moved to buy a pug of her own after seeing the photos. Mr Newman may have won the hearts of internet users but his web fame is unlikely to eclipse that of feline rival Keyboard Cat, the musical pet who has become a meme in his own right on YouTube.
