原文：
An 8-year-old husky who greets almost 13,000 service members and families each month at the United Service Organizations Center on Fort Bragg has been named the USO's 2026 Canine Volunteer of the Year.
Sapper, the Alaskan husky who belongs to Army veteran Mike D'Arcy, won the national title on April 21 after a public vote among five finalists from USO centers around the world, the USO announced.
"It's worldwide. They said so. Germany, Japan, all these other places," D'Arcy said. "If any dog deserved it, he did."
Sapper and D'Arcy conduct daily rounds through the USO inside Fort Bragg's Soldier Support Center. D'Arcy said the 83-pound husky shakes hands with most people who come through the door and occasionally climbs into laps uninvited.
D'Arcy said Sapper picks dog people out of a room without prompting. In a crowd of soldiers patting him on the way by, the husky will bypass five or six people and jump into the lap of the seventh. "It's like he knows that they're a dog person," D'Arcy said. "He picks them out."

一隻每個月在布拉格堡美國軍事服務組織中心迎接將近13000名現役軍人與家屬的8歲哈士奇，被評選為USO 2026年度最佳志願犬。
USO宣布，這隻名叫「薩帕」的阿拉斯加哈士奇，主人是陸軍退役老兵達西。在經過針對全球USO中心選出的5隻決賽犬進行全民投票後，薩帕於4月21日贏得了這項全國性頭銜。
「這是全球性的競賽。他們說德國、日本等地的候選犬都有參加，」達西說。「如果說有哪隻狗值得這個獎，那就是他了。」
薩帕與達西每天會在布拉格堡士兵支援中心內的USO進行巡迴服務。達西表示，這隻重達83磅的哈士奇會與大多數進門的人「握手」，有時甚至會不請自來地爬到別人的大腿上。
達西說，薩帕能不經提示就在人群中認出愛狗人士。在一群拍拍他走過的士兵中，這隻哈士奇會繞過5、6個人，直接跳進第7個人的懷裡。達西感嘆道：「就像牠知道對方也是愛狗的人一樣，他能把牠們挑出來。」
