Power bigger than barks and bites

In the sixth episode of the diary-style film Never and another dog were put through four sessions on the day of the evaluation: tests by volunteers, basic dog etiquette, an interference test and scenario simulation. In the last of these, in order to assess the tacit understanding between owner and dog and the owner's ability to cope with emergencies, staff members simulated some of the emergency acts of the vulnerable groups, and Never's response was so powerful that it brought tears to many who watched it.

Training program personnel are particularly interested in a dog's ability to carefully observe a person's behavior and interpret it correctly as well as identify its strengths and allow the dog to live out its potential.

Sara's owner Bian, now a volunteer at Wu's dog academy, says she admires Wu's determination to push the limits, push into the unknown and became closely acquainted with the special nature of her canine friends. Today many people across the country are benefiting from new forms of canine-assisted therapy.

"In these short films many people saw the real work content and process of the therapy dogs," Wu says.
