Why do you think that the dolphins helped Nikki to speak? Do you have a theory about this?
Maybe because he felt comfortable with them, giving him the encouragement needed to overcome his problem, and at the same time that's my theory. Maybe the boy was afraid to speak, I don't mean he was just afraid to speak, I truly believe he had real difficulties to do it, but what he needed was the courage to overcome his problem.
Do you really think the dolphins helped, or is this a case of media exaggeration?
Of course they helped him, for the reason that in my own opinion it wasn't an exaggerated news, I think it's possible that a person can experiment a surprising change instantly with the right help.
Do you know any other stories about the therapeutic effect of animals?
Yes, one about a duck that helped a boy with high levels of Obssesive Compulsive Disorder to feel and live better, almost like he hadn't the disorder.
How do you think Nikki's mother raised the £10,500? How would you raise this amount of money?
Probably thanks to a help program that she could post it in her locality, and also on the internet, where she could get most of the support that helped her to raise that amount of money.
