So, Yan helped them by offering emotional support and being such a loyal and caring dog. For example, when my eldest child became overwhelmed, Yan would sit on their lap, and they continuously stroked Yan’s ear until they had calmed down.

Red was one of them—he was found tied to a pole in 2019, with kids beating him with sticks. At the time, he was severely malnourished and had faced a significant amount of trauma. When Charlie reached out and asked if I know of any friends who wanted to adopt Red, I immediately excluded myself from the opportunity as I had only been in Amsterdam for a month, but of course, the minute I saw a picture of Red’s face, I instantly knew that it was meant to be....
