Taking care of Duggie, my Assistance Dog in training, requires creativity, patience and love. Duggie isn’t just a dog; he’s my companion who offers anxiety relief and a sense of purpose. Though daily tasks can be challenging, his loyalty makes my efforts all worthwhile.

Caring for Duggie often involves some “creative thinking” to meet all his needs within the limits of my disability (we manage).

He has adapted to my limitations and wheelchair and happily runs in the park and has learned to jump on my knee, when asked, among other tasks. I have used adapted a magnetic collar and lead that require less hand function.

I get Duggie groomed as I can’t manage. Duggie has adapted well to our modified lifestyle, and seems to understand I’m a little different. I rely on others to help with walks, in between
grooming. At times having this extra assistance can feel like having a pet magnifies my disability, however it’s good to know Duggie is well cared for when I can’t do it myself .

He’s also introduced me to a new community of people who understand the unique challenges and joys of life with a dog. The struggle of caring for a pet pal feels like nothing in comparison to the joy they bring to your life.
