【英语4级听力】我可以成为一名职业遛狗人-I Can Be a Dog Walker

Donna got an idea. "I can be a dog walker!" she said. One of her friends was a dog walker. She heard that dog walkers can make a lot of money just for hanging out with puppies¹.

 

"You can't do that," said her boyfriend. "Why not?" asked Donna. "You hate dogs!" he answered. This was true. Donna denied it. She really wanted an easy way to make money.
