00:00I have a lot of trouble concentrating and it leads to a lot of social phobias.

00:30I have a lot of trouble concentrating and it leads to a lot of social phobias.

00:35I have a lot of trouble concentrating and it leads to a lot of social phobias.

00:41One day, she was 11 months old, I think.

00:44I have a fear of public transport.

00:48She understood right away that I wasn't well.

00:52She pulled my sleeve. She started to put her head in my hand.

00:55She cried. She came on my knees.

00:57It was super cute and it reassured me.

00:59It was thanks to her that I started going out again.

01:01Because we have to walk a dog.

01:03Instead of focusing on people, I focus on her.

01:06It's her that I look at. It's her that I pay attention to.

01:10Also, the contact with people is much easier and much more gentle.

01:16Before, I couldn't go into a store.

01:19I couldn't do anything because I was afraid of people.

01:23I was afraid of everything.

01:26I was afraid of having a crisis at that moment without being warned.

01:30And that it would happen all of a sudden.

01:32The crises that I have the most often are spasmophilia crises.

01:35Big spasms that are quite embarrassing.

01:40She manages to prevent these crises.

01:44By taking my sleeve, by pulling me on it, by drinking on it, etc.

01:49She warns them and that way, it allows me to know about 15 minutes in advance

01:54that I have to calm down.

01:57And that I have to put myself in a place where there is not too much noise.

02:02I have problems with my mood, etc.

02:22It also depends on that.

02:24I stress a lot.

02:26There are signs that I don't see and that everyone doesn't see.

02:30In the end, if we are careful, we see them.

02:33But she is very careful.

02:35She managed to understand that after these signs, this is what happens.

02:46We were on the beach.

02:48We got on the board to go surfing.

02:51While waiting for the waves, I was looking at everything.

02:55At one point, I was absent.

02:57I disconnected from reality.

03:00I don't hear anything, I don't see anything.

03:04I fell in the water, so did Laiki.

03:06During that, since I didn't expect it, I took the board on my head.

03:14I was a bit uncomfortable, I was a bit stunned.

03:18Laiki understood the situation right away.

03:21She pulled me out of the water.

03:23That's it.

03:24She is my hero.

03:26Are you my hero?

03:28Yes, my love.

03:46I didn't know that we could have such a relationship with a dog.

03:49Laiki is more than a fusion.

03:53He is the one who knows me the most, who understands me the most.
