Companion or therapy dog?
Hi to all!
I have been struggling with learning to cope with type 2 diabetes for a year on top of eminent liver failure. The only thing that has made me fight to beat this is my wonderful husky, Mischov. While I am amazing my doctors with my progress I may need to move. My dog has become an early warning for both highs, lows, and body toxidity levels. He has not been trained for this, but spending so much time with me he just knows! Is there a way to certify him enough to allow him in disabled housing? Any input appreciated!
