Tucker is my service dog. I'll admit we wanted him to be a service dog before we knew what service he would perform! With MS we knew we'd find something! I thought I could use him to pick things up, but he doesn't like to give back! Then last week we found out what he does naturally. I'm also diabetic and I went to sleep and my blood sugar dropped dangerously low. Tucker got up on my bed and barked and barked until I woke up enough to notice that I was having a low blood sugar incident. I truly believe he saved my life, as I was home alone! We registered him through SARA (Service Animals Registry of America) sara.com. They don't do or certify any training, just gave me a patch after I registered him and it has been all that I've needed to show when I take him anywhere. No one has ever challenged me. |
