• Why do you think that the dolphins helped Nikki to speak? Do you have a theory about this?
I haven’t any serious theory about why dolphins helped Nikki to speak, but I think that was a grateful Nikki’s experience. Dolphins are kind and intelligent animals, with a great capacity of communication, the dolphin’s empathy can help with this kind of therapy.
• Do you really think the dolphins helped, or is this a case of media exaggeration?
I think that dolphins really helped Nikki to speak, because dolphins had provoked the first word of Nikki.
• Do you know any other stories about the therapeutic effect of animals?
I had seen on TV than disability children have a therapy with horses, and they have big success.
• How do you think Nikki's mother raised the £10,500? How would you raise this amount of money?
I think than she had a public call may be on TV. I would like to have the same.
