Stray at Heart
Dogs, Humans and the Longing for Freedom
Gerd Schuster probably owes his life to dogs, just like many dogs were rescued by him. Born into a broken family, he already experienced neglect as a small toddler in a children’s home and violence in his adoptive family. As a teenager, he fled to the streets with a strong longing for freedom. The dog Rosco – a retired border guard dog that is his companion, friend and family in one – was always by his side. Schuster turned his gift for intuitively understanding dogs and interpreting their emotions and needs into his profession. He is now a highly respected dog expert, known for his success especially with problematic and aggressive dogs since they have usually had experiences like his own. His method is characterised by understanding and trust, not coercion or conditioning. This is an exciting and touching life story about the intimate connection between dogs and humans, as well as how every animal and human deserves a second chance.
