9 operations could not help her walk, but this big Dane did

Her life changed completely thanks to this super trained service dog. So beautiful!

Dog as ‘medical wonder’

By the time Bella was ten, she had nine surgeries to endure. She suffers from the rare Morquio syndrom – an immune system which hinders her growth and makes it next to impossible for her to walk. That she can now actually walk is not due to a medical wonder but thanks to big dane called George

They are inseparable. George also helps her climbing the stairs at school.

Service Dogs

George is gigantic, Bella is small and fragile. Therefore, it is crucial that George has been trained thoroughly as a ‘Service Dog’. The servicedogproject.org is an American organisation which has trained over 100 great danes to help the mobility impaired. As you can tell from George and Bella, they are doing a fantastic job.
