当你拍摄家里的猫猫、狗狗时，它们是不是非常不配合？现在好了，洛杉矶一家公司推出了一款名为Flexy Paw的宠物拍照神器。它可以将宠物喜欢的食物或玩具挂在手机镜头上方，从而将它们的注意力吸引过来。

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.

一家公司新开发的小工具可以引诱你的宠物看着手机镜头，这样你就能给这些四条腿的调皮小家伙拍出完美照片了。

The flexible device clips to the top of your smartphone and dangles a pet's favorite treat just above its camera to direct the animal's attention toward the lens.

这种夹在手机上部的可弯曲装置可以将宠物喜欢的食物悬挂在镜头上方，从而将它们的注意力吸引到镜头上。

Once a picture has been taken, the treat can be removed from the gadget's spring-loaded clamp and offered as a reward.

照片拍完后，可从装置的弹簧夹上取下食物给宠物作为奖励。

HOW DOES IT WORK?
