reactor,thetwomen,unrelatedtooneanother,bothlivealonewhiletakingcareofdozensof

animalsthatwereleftbehindwhentheevacuationorderwasgiven.（这两人住在受损反应堆周

围英里（约合公里）的禁区内，彼此毫无关系，两人都独自生活，同时照顾数十只动物，

这些动物是在疏散命令下达后被留在那里的）”可知，这两个人照顾留在核污染区的猫和狗。

他一起生活在他山区的家中，还有一只他收养的名叫波奇的狗。Kato说，他将和他的猫呆

座城市，但不久就回来养自己的动物。一旦回来，现年55岁的他意识到其他人的宠物和牲
