Pomocné tlapky, a non-profit group that breeds, trains and hands over assistance dogs to people with disabilities, celebrates its twentieth anniversary this week. When established back in February 2001, it was the first such organisation in the Czech Republic. Over the decades, its staff and network of volunteers have trained nearly 250 dogs to lend helping hands – or rather paws – to those in need.
