When I was a child I grew up in Germany with two dogs at my home. I always had a special relationship to animals. I simply love them and try to understand them. Dogs in Germany for example are mostly considered as pets, living together in a regulated relationship with humans and often have a good, save life, enough food, attention and love. That was the experience I grew up with. Since I am travelling this picture changed. I had no idea about what it could mean for a dog to live in other cultures. I explored Italy, several Balkan countries, Turkey and Greece and during my stay in Albania I adopted one poor dog with a bad chance for survival. Since then I dedicated my heart to stray dogs. I started to keep my focus on their life in different cities and societies. I wonder how they can survive out in the streets, how they find food, how to manage to live together with humans and how do people interact with them.
