If someone gets on the dog, he or she gets into dire circumstances. Health is ruined, or belongings are lost. Got the dog is also used literally when someone buys a dog as a pet. Both backgrounds come into play in this thread booklet.

It is about accompanying grieving or sick people who feel left alone and miserable. Animals - dogs, cats, horses, dolphins, and even wild birds - have distinctive accompanying skills. This animal ability has an impact not only in therapies but also in the assistance of animals for people with physical or mental handicaps. And animals themselves experience pain and grief. We know about elephants and chimpanzees, for example, how deep they experience and show losses.

Last but not least, the mourning for animals comes up: human reactions after the loss of a pet.
