12. (SOUNDBITE) (German) CHRISTIANE TONNJES, SAYING:

"He is man's best friend. Of course cat lovers can feel the same way about their cats, but a dog comforts you better, I think, and you take him everywhere you can. You are outside a lot, you are forced to go out, and the dog supports you wherever he can."

13. (SOUNDBITE) (German) COSIMA STEINHARDT, HOLDING DOG ANTON IN HER ARMS, SAYING:

"They are very, very strong-willed. We have a second one at home, also very strong-willed. They think they are little baby Rottweilers and they just look super cute."

14. (SOUNDBITE) (German) EVENT ATTENDEE, THOMAS WAGNER, SAYING:

"The dachshund is a personality, he is independent, he works on his own, and many say the dachshund is stubborn, but the dachshund works independently and as long as he has work, he does it, and afterwards he follows again.”

"We have grown. Four years ago there was one exhibitor here and 30 dogs that ran. Now, after four years, we already fill the whole Motorworld with 150 exhibitors. Also very international, some from Dubai. You can also see behind me, with their own kitchen appliances. This is not for humans. It is made especially for dogs. But you can also find beautiful clothes, great accessories for the dog. Jewellery. And there is nothing that doesn't exist. Really, just like for us humans."
