Sherry, of Orcas Island, Washington, was paired with service dog Luc during our spring team training back in April, and her life has changed dramatically since Luc came into her life. She says he has brought incredible joy to her life and helped make her more approachable. Sherry has primary lateral sclerosis, a progressive disorder that affects her speech and mobility. Luc helps her with a variety of tasks, including picking up items that she drops, opening doors, and transferring laundry from the dryer to the clothes basket. He also braces her if she starts to fall. Luc knows many other commands, but it’s obvious there is much more to their relationship.
