People share heartwarming stories about their service dogs
While we're all well aware of the healing and life-saving powers provided by fictional superheroes such as Superman and Batman, we're less exposed to the skills, stories and accomplishments of real-life superheroes: service dogs. Service dogs save people's lives on a daily basis.
With special training, these dogs help mitigate a variety of disabilities including depression, anxiety, PTSD, epilepsy and impaired sight. They're trained to respond to seizure, low blood sugar and psychiatric disability alerts. They can retrieve objects for their people, open and close doors and even turn light switches on and off.
Not only do these dogs dedicate their lives to helping others, they also provide love and companionship to their people. These dogs don't just save lives, they make people's lives better and more fulfilling. That's why several people with service dogs took to Whisper, the popular app that provides an anonymous platform for people to share their most honest thoughts, to share heartwarming stories about their beloved pooches.
