This is a translation of an article in the column 'Deutschland' in the German weekly magazine "Der Spiegel", published on April 18.2011. Almost at the same time, the terrible Higashi-Nihon Earthquake, and the nuclear power plant accident at Fukushima occurred. I was deeply shocked when I saw animals, which had previously been cared for by people, walking around and waiting for their masters. Dogs, cats and cows were wandering on the road. I have been thinking over and over about what it means, to be healed by animals.
