當你拍攝家里的貓貓、狗狗時，它們是不是非常不配合？現在好了，洛杉磯一家公司推出了一款名為Flexy Paw的寵物拍照神器。它可以將寵物喜歡的食物或玩具掛在手機鏡頭上方，從而將它們的注意力吸引過來。

A new gadget has been developed that tricks pets into looking at your smartphone camera to help you take the perfect snap of your fidgeting four-legged friends.
一家公司新開發(fā)的小工具可以引誘你的寵物看著手機鏡頭，這樣你就能給這些四條腿的調皮小家伙拍出完美照片了。
