So, I was impressed, somewhat puzzled, and a bit skeptical. I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember, and if I could, I’d take them all home, especially those without owners, living on the streets or in shelters. In 2020, I had four dogs – three at my parents’ house and one with me. During the pandemic, I was shocked to discover that my dog, Fido, had lymphoma. Lymphoma is an incurable disease with a life expectancy of 8 to 12 months if detected early and treated with chemotherapy.

The diagnosis initially felt unreal… Fido was extremely well cared for, receiving the best food. I didn’t understand how, why, or what caused it. Medicine currently cannot identify a cause, so I received no answers to these questions.

When Fido started chemotherapy and things weren’t looking great, I remembered the article I had read and Daniela. I contacted her with hope and skepticism. Without giving her many details, Daniela identified and described Fido perfectly. She also accurately described his personality and things I couldn’t see: Fido’s relationship with me and the type of emotional bond we shared.

It may sound abstract or metaphorical, but if you have the opportunity to connect with your pet’s subconscious through Daniela, you’ll realize that these things are profoundly indescribable in words, yet very concrete. Such an experience, full of emotions and discoveries, will stay with you forever.

For me, meeting Daniela was completely overwhelming. It was a laborious journey over many months, not knowing what to do or where to turn. But throughout it all, Daniela was more than just Fido’s therapist; she was a sincere, generous, and reliable friend who helped me navigate one of the most difficult periods of my life. Daniela helped me understand, soothed my soul that was screaming in pain, and always knew what to say and how to say it.

Thanks to Daniela, I have kept the beautiful image of Fido in my mind and heart, remembering the good times and his unique personality, rather than the months filled with pain and suffering.

Four years have passed since then. I’ve never met Daniela in person, but not a year goes by without my family and I talking about her and wondering how such people exist in our increasingly rushed, pragmatic, and emotionally alienated world.

I regret not meeting Daniela sooner, when I could have learned and understood more about my relationship with Fido. Animals possess a unique nobility and love. It’s magical that someone can mediate this connection, helping us understand more layers and meanings of our encounters with them.

Daniela, you are truly special, and words are not enough to thank you for your friendship and dedication.”
