The brief

GiGo is a walking kit shaped around what Gino can actually do: a senior dog who spent years being mistreated before he was rescued.

The kit gathers a set of chosen stimuli that work through play to keep him thinking and moving. More than making the walk richer, it is meant to hold up his wellbeing and give him a calmer, more active last stretch.

The full kit: the box with its cards, the closed box, the walking guide, the category chart and the snuffle mats.

The cards out of the box, split into blocks by category: cognitive in orange and muscular in yellow.

The cards
The two black cards in the kit: one with the grid of stimuli by category, the other with the instructions.
The cards sort the stimuli by category — scent, energy, play, cognition — and leave the order to whoever is walking him. The kit bends to the day Gino is having, not the other way around.
