书籍简介

一只比格犬的“非凡”（珍·古道尔博士）过去的故事，以及动物研究的未来

记者梅兰妮·D·G·卡普兰收养比格犬哈米时，她只知道它曾在实验室里待了近四年。卡普兰渴望了解更多关于这只温顺小动物的过去，以及更广阔的动物研究世界，于是带着哈米踏上了寻找答案的旅程。哈米是如何进入研究机构的？为什么我们每年仍在实验中使用数百万只动物？我们从它们身上学到了什么？还有其他方法吗？

在《实验犬》一书中，卡普兰探究了比格犬在生物医学研究、药物和产品测试以及教育领域的繁殖和使用情况。她带领读者踏上旅程，探秘实验室，拜访研究人员、活动家、伦理学家、兽医、立法者和创新者。一路走来，她发现辩论各方都有着体贴和关爱，探索了非动物实验领域充满希望的进展，并揭开了哈米过去谜团的碎片。《拉布拉多犬》兼具新闻报道和爱情故事的双重含义，以细致入微的视角审视了我们与一个我们既热爱又利用的物种之间的关系，也为我们所有人拥有更美好未来的希望提供了理由。

The "remarkable" (Dr. Jane Goodall) story of a beagle's past, and the future of animal research

When journalist Melanie D.G. Kaplan adopted her beagle Hammy, all she knew was that he had spent nearly four years in a research lab. Curious to know more about this gentle creature's past, as well as the broader world of animal research, Kaplan--with Hammy in tow--embarks on a quest for answers. How did Hammy end up in a research facility? Why are we still using millions of animals a year in experiments? What have we learned from them? Is there another way?

In Lab Dog, Kaplan investigates the breeding and use of beagles for biomedical research, drug and product testing, and education. She takes readers on a journey, peeking behind laboratory doors and visiting with researchers, activists, ethicists, veterinarians, lawmakers, and innovators. Along the way, she finds thoughtful and caring humans on all sides of the debate, explores promising developments in nonanimal testing, and discovers puzzle pieces from Hammy's past. Equal parts journalism and love story, Lab Dog offers a nuanced view on our relationship with a species that we both love and exploit, and a reason to hope for a better future for all.
