Under partial lockdown due to the spiraling coronavirus pandemic, Spaniards are allowed to leave home only for essential outings, walking a dog being one of them.

在不斷升溫的冠狀病毒全球大流行下處於部分行動限制，西班牙人因必要出門才能獲准離開家，遛狗就是當中一項。

But not a rented dog, the Civil Guard police force warned on Wednesday as it sanctioned a man who had repeatedly tried to rent his dogs out via Facebook so that people could walk them.

但不是租來的狗，國民警衛隊的警察週三提出警告，指他們懲罰一名反覆試圖透過臉書出租多隻狗兒供民眾去遛的男子。

“The man was advertising activities which implied people leaving their homes to rent dogs, or walk rented dogs,” said a police spokeswoman in the northeastern Galicia region. “That would be infringing the decree that only permits going outdoors for work, groceries, walking your dog or pharmacy visits.”

東北部加利西亞區一位警方發言人說，「這名男子打廣告，暗示民眾離開住家來租用犬隻，或遛租來的狗。」「那違反僅允許因工作、採買食物、遛愛犬、上藥局而外出的命令。」

The man faces a possible fine of between 500 and 5,000 euros, but has not yet been detained. （Reuters）
