弗朗西斯（比蒂·埃德蒙森 Beattie Edmondson 饰）最近似乎是触了霉头，无码事业又失恋，无码与此同时，她的外婆亦去世了。无奈之下，弗朗西斯只得收养了外婆的爱犬——一只名叫帕特里克的八哥犬。弗朗西斯本身并不喜欢动物，她所居住的公寓也明令禁止不许养宠物，帕特里克的存在让弗朗西斯整天战战兢兢提心吊胆。况且帕特里克也不是省油的灯，他贪吃又调皮，整天给弗朗西斯惹麻烦，令她的主人不禁怀疑，它是上天派来惩罚自己的吗？养狗虽然面临着各种困难，但同时也乐趣多多，在养狗的过程中，弗朗西斯结识了英俊的兽医奥利华（艾德·斯克林 Ed Skrein 饰）和爱狗人士阿宾（汤姆·班尼特 Tom Bennett 饰），交际圈的拓展让弗朗西斯逐渐脱离了曾经的怨妇状态。

回复 :NOVA: Mysteries of Sleep Like virtually every other animal, humans need sleep to survive. But why? What do we gain from spending nearly a third of our lives in such a defenseless state? And what's at stake if we sleep poorly? The functions of sleep have long been something of a mystery. But now scientists are peering deep into the brain to see what happens while we snooze. One study reveals that well-timed bursts of pink noise can nudge a person's brain waves, extending periods of slow-wave, or deep, sleep. And toddlers learning new words show that taking even a short nap after learning something new can help the information stick. And when it comes to sleeping poorly, it may turn out that having interrupted sleep can be just as harmful as missing sleep altogether. As scientists come to understand the powerful role that sleep -- or lack of it -- plays in everything from memory to trauma to emotion regulation, one thing is clear: This biological function is as crucial as it is complex.
