The bond between a dog and their human is amazing – we would even go so far as to call it
mystifying at times. Sadie, the child in the photo below, was born with type one diabetes and Downs Syndrome. In order for Sadie to be at her best at all times, her blood sugar levels must be monitored constantly. However, the four-year-old needs a little help communicating when things start to feel “off.” Luckily, she has the best kind of help: aLabrador named Hero. Not only is he an amazing and loyal companion, he is also a lifesaver. Whenever Sadie’s blood sugar is abnormal, he’s the first to alert others. Sadie’s mom told KUTV News how it works: “I’ll hold out my hands and say, what is it? and he’ll … paw my left hand for a low, and he’ll nose my right hand for a high.”
