Like Rosie, all the animals I was surrounded by as a child (cats, doves, Japanese fish, Siamese fighter fish and even mice) were considered family members, not pets. She is free to be where she wants to be and doesn't have to worry about others: when I observe her, I sometimes envy her nonchalance.

Nouchka, artist and animal mediation practitioner, brings people together with her dogs. Without her work as an animal mediator, she would definitely not have had Tibout and Plume.
