They stepped into each other’s lives unexpectedly, at a time when neither of them was looking for love. Their first handshake has lasted ever since — they’re already engaged.

They are now four weeks old. Borso’s puppies have progressed from uncertain waddling to more confident movement, and quiet naps are increasingly replaced by play and exploration. We’ve also started introducing solid food from the O litter alongside mother’s milk—they’re eating mushy kibble so that their mom, Borso, can rest more. Their space is getting

Our guide dog helped her owner for six years, and after her retirement, her owner will help her. We visited Sáfrány Írisz and Dolly at their home in Győr.
