如果你对"青龙白虎"的文身花臂已不再感到惊奇，那么，如果是花背呢？ 如果这个花背出现在狗的身上呢？ 第27届亚洲宠物展览会（以下简称"亚宠展"）上就出现了这样一只小狗——通背的"青龙白虎"，红色、绿色、白色等花纹交织、叠加，从颈椎一直铺到尾 巴。它的脖子上还挂着"大金链子"，右前肢戴着"金手表"。 苏林夏正好看到了这只小狗。 8月20日，上海最高温39度，苏林夏刚从深圳落地上海，下午便赶往展馆。 她在各大展位间穿梭，走到E区的一个展馆前，遇到一只小狗。灰棕色、无毛，像她在电影《寻梦环游记》中看到的墨西哥无毛犬。 作为一个有文身的人，苏林夏的第一反应是难以置信。"是文身贴吧？"她心想。多看了几眼，她发现光泽度和颜色晕染，都不对劲。 "这是真的文身吗？"她开口问宠主。 "是啊。"宠主站在一旁，笑容满面。 苏林夏读懂了它的恐惧，人群越聚越多，她默默地转身离开了。 晚上回到酒店，苏林夏翻出照片，反复滑动屏幕，小狗的眼神总是让她不安。最终，她将那段经历发到了小红书上："……在小动物身上施加如此大的痛 苦来取悦自己和旁人，还要在展会上博眼球……只能说希望不要有别的小狗有这样的遭遇吧。" 笔记发布2天后，突破2万点赞，50 ...
