Tierisch Menschlich

“Being out and about with the dog gives a quality of life, which, as someone with an illness, could never have imagined. As someone who could not go out in the dark for more than 20 years, or only with great fear or with medication, it is an unbelievable release.

She is very very focussed on me. I can even go to town without her being on the leash as she’s always at my side. I can completely rely on her.”

“I believe that it’s a great thing for my dog and for me, as a disabled person, to be in this team. We are together 24/7, we do everything together and she is really happy when she can help.

I think everything is great as it is now. I have my free time, I can take the dog everywhere and we spend all our time together. It’s really fun.”

“Independently of his actual tasks as an assistance dog, it is a great support that there is simply another Being with us.

The dog is a protective wall, I’ve always thought. The moral support that keeps you on track.”

‘Dogs intantly put you in a good mood. You go out, you are not alone, I can talk to my dog all day and he is happy about it.’
