Hello,
This is my world, and my life with a Service Dog.
Moose and I are a team we are together 24/7. His company, companionship, and abilities to sense when I need him has changed, 'improved' my quality of life.
Moose is a 4 year/old (neutered male), weighing approxmently 120 pounds, standing 29 inches tall, this is rather large even for a Beauceron.
He provides me with needed balance for walking, and the muscle to climb stairs, by pulling me forward when going-up. Then bracing me as we travel down to keep me from falling.. Moose also carries a pack and harness.
Moose has the ability to Alert me; when it's time for my medications, Insulin shots, testing blood gluclose levels (around the clock). He senses pain from my neuropathy. Alerting to harsh Insulin reactions, that could cost me my life if gone untreated. Sleep Apnea, Depression, HTN, Heart problems, etc.
Moose is an Owner-Trained Service Dog. We have been together since he was 5 months of age. The Beauceron is an intelligent, sensitive, old French herding breed dating prior to 1534 bc.
The care I've taken in 35+ years of Diabetes type 1 [juvenile diabetic] has never been easier than with My Moose, service dog. .
