Zeno talks about therapy animal Raico

April 16, 2021 by Admin

zeno

I met Raico last year in the land of Elkalim and we immediately became great friends. Raico is a very sweet dog. He is very good at tricks. I am always learning to handle him better. We often do an obstacle course and therefore he deserves treats, of course. I would always want to stay with him because he is so much fun. When I am with him, I feel the dog in me awaken. When I leave Raico, I feel grateful that I got to see it again.

Mama Zeno

Zeno instantly became best friends with Raico because he saw that Raico was scared and therefore sitting under the table. He wanted to support Raico and therefore went to sit with him to give him a hug. Raico showed that he found this sweet by giving Zeno lots of kisses.

Interview Zeno

What does he mean by ‘learning to cope with it better’? That they are becoming thicker and thicker friends.

What is that, feeling the dog rise up inside you? He feels like a little dog then, like Raico.

What does he like about feeling like a little dog? Earning biscuits, being able to rest a lot, that must be easy; having lots of little friends…

What do you do yourself when you are scared?  Then I want to curl up nice and cozy in a corner.

What makes Raico so sweet and fun?  He is the nicest dog because he is trained, because he helped Zeno in the land of Elkalim when he lost something. Raico can do many more things than other dogs, he can help much more with something. Zeno thinks Raico is handsome. He wouldn't be afraid of Raico if he saw him for the firstSte Rare saw. Yes he has a fat head but that is because he has a big brain, is smart. If Raico were black, he would like him just as much.

What do you think Raico feels for Zeno? That I'm nice, that he likes me, I think. (Raico wags his tail when we say Zeno's name...)

Does Raico enjoy everything in life equally?  No. He doesn't like other dogs because he is afraid after having been attacked once. He also doesn't like jumping because he is getting older and it hurts.

What does Raico like?  When I'm there, doing tricks, the course,….

What does Zeno want to do to be more of a dog?  Interact more with dogs.

Special message from Zeno to Raico? He is my very best friend!

Quote “Raico is not a dog, he is much more than that!”
