A little about me...
Peppa is more than a pet. She is an A dog which stands for Autism assistance animal.

Without any medical degree she is bringing us calmness and joy which helps not only her little humans but her stressed out and sleep deprived parents just as much.

We got Peppa for a very specific task of working in pair with our 3 y.o nonverbal son Leo. But as the jokes says tell God about your plans and he’ll have a good laugh. The love at first sniff happened with our newborn at the time Mary. A year after they would be sleeping in a crate, playing with dog toys and trying eagerly each other’s food without paying any attention to Leo.

The magic happened on a 3rd year when I already gave up my dream of a therapy dog. Peppa finally outgrew Mary and developed deep motherly instincts towards all 4 of her human siblings. She gently wrapped them up with her sweet personality, goofy habits and the softest hugs when they most need it.

She remains neutral when the kids go into war mode, she provides light nursing when they’re sobbing, she’s always ready for a walk when they’re bored, a race when they need a challenge, a sofa cuddle when it’s time to practice reading and free cleaning after every meal.

And when I see her gracefully running next to me in the sunrise on the beach I’m convinced that her innocent beauty and companionship is the best therapy in the world.
