It is with great sadness that I announce the death of "Gyp".
Gyp, a mini Elo, accompanied both my students and I for more than 15 years. She could often be seen sitting in the large front window of my school at Goslarsche Str. 58 in Braunschweig. Numerous children took pleasure in tapping on the window to make her bark.
The lessons in my school usually last for 90 minutes - after approximately 85 minutes Gyp would bark and jump onto my lap signalling that it was time to finish and go for "walkies" - a very intelligent and strong minded girl - just like the other 3 ladies in my life
I, just like many other dog owners, believed/knew that my dog was above average (dog) intelligence. Indeed she must have been because she followed orders in both English and German - albeit only when she wanted to - this again was proof of her intelligence😌.
Gyp also travelled with my wife Carola and I to the UK on several occasions and enjoyed an hour or two in a pub just like us. While staying in Barmouth in North Wales Gyp won a prize in a dog show as "Best Dog on Holiday"
Gyp old girl you will be sorely missed 😢.

Our Story

Die Geschichte von PeLS begann vor langer Zeit, im Jahr 1980. Damals habe ich, Paul Close der Inhaber von PeLS in einer kleinen Sprachschule in Braunschweig, nebenberuflich als Englischdozent abends unterrichtet.

Heinz Walch, einer meiner Schüler und Wirt der berühmten Gaststätte „Die Ewige Lampe“ in der Rudolfstraße Braunschweig, sagte eines abends:

„Paul, du machst deinen Unterricht ganz gut und bist mit Herz und Seele bei der Sache. Willst du dich nicht selbstständig machen?“
