Eso fue lo que le ocurrió a la niña Lynn Bakker de Den Helder, nacida en Holanda, quien desde su nacimiento tuvo en Jaden, su perro bulldog, un constante compañero y mejor amigo.

Este perrito ya contaba con 7 años cuando nació Bakker, por lo que, cuando esta niña cumplió los 6 años y quería jugar, Jaden tenía 13 años y ya estaba lento, sordo, ciego y apenas podía caminar.

El padre de Bakker, Jeffrey, llevó a Jaden al veterinario, quien le comentó que, para la comodidad del perro, tendría que ser puesto a dormir.

«Lynn podía hacer cualquier cosa con Jaden, él le permitía hacer cualquier cosa: sentarse en él, poner accesorios en él, lo que llevó a algunas fotos muy divertidas»

El padre elaboró un registro fotográfico de sobre la amistad especial entre su hija y su perro, lo que le permitió capturar el impacto que puede tener un perro en el desarrollo de los niños, enseñándoles a ser pacientes y compasivos, e incluso aumentar su confianza.
