EPISODE 45 OF THE PACK PODCAST: How a dog saved my life

In episode 45 of the Smečka podcast, we bring you a powerful, moving and inspiring interview with Mark Erben , who lives with epilepsy and has an exceptional hero by his side – his assistance dog Ray . 🐶❤️ Together with Mark, we reveal, how demanding and precise the training is, how the dog can recognize an impending seizure, and what its intervention looks like in practice - including warnings, calling for help, or physical support.

You will learn what abilities an assistance dog can have not only for epileptics, but also for people with diabetes, PTSD, autism or heart problems. And Marek also talks honestly about what daily care for such a dog entails, why it is important to reward it properly and what rules we, as passersby, should respect.

We'll also talk about what to do if you encounter a person having a seizure - because each of us can play an important role one day. This episode is not just about dogs, but also about trust, loyalty and the immense power of human-dog friendship. Don't miss it. 🐾❤️
