Alida’s story is an inspirational example of dogs helping when it matters most. I think that it is great that Alida Knobloch can play with the other kids despite her condition.

How humans and animals relate to one another I learned that one of the ways that people and animals can relate to each other is by accepting one another and not being afraid.
