Dog Research follows the principle of Respect 4 life.
Respect 4 life covers the following areas:
- Respect 4 humans
- Respect 4 all animals
- Respect 4 nature
The respect 4 life idea is based on the idea that man for his survival and well-being is dependent on other people, its natural environment and the animals around him. From this idea taking care of the other (human, animal, nature) becomes a matter of self-interest. This idea is an ecological variant of the Christian directive; Do not do to others what you would not like to be done to you. The Respect 4 Life concept however focuses not only on people but also on the nature and the animals around us and assumes a greater responsibility on the man himself: In order to lead a good life, man should take responsibility for its natural environment and humans and animals around him.
