After experiencing violence herself at a young age, dog trainer Andrea März also looks after traumatized women and children. With the help of animals - some of which had to endure torture themselves in the past - she works with those affected to find joy in life again. 

The "Krone" reaches Andrea März on her cell phone on her way to Helenental in Lower Austria. The busy Viennese laughs into the phone: "At least I can talk undisturbed in the car, the rest of the day is always difficult".
