What's up dog?
Red, an exceptional assistance dog, has transformed his owner’s life following a 2016 diagnosis of catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome and the end of their marriage. Red's unwavering support has enabled them to return to work, overcoming PTSD and major depressive disorder while reducing the need for extensive mental health services. Performing tasks like mobility assistance and emotional regulation, Red has greatly enhanced their daily life, allowing them to work without taking mental health days. Economically, Red has saved over $80,000 annually by reducing the need for paid support workers. His dedication, especially in crisis situations, showcases his profound impact on his owner's independence and well-being.
