flying dog

Folk wisdom says: "If a person manages to win the trust of a dog, she will become his most faithful friend." This statement is confirmed by the story of Dan McManus and his dog Shadow. American Dan McManus lives in Utah and has been a hang gliding and paragliding instructor for 37 years. In recent years, he began to suffer from a general anxiety disorder. This disease is accompanied by a constant feeling of fear, which reduces a person's performance and prevents relaxation. But Dan was able to cope with the disease. In this he was helped by flights and a dog named Shadow.
