Η Jacquie Blake από το Tampa Bay, της Φλόριντα πάσχει από επιληψία και ναρκοληψία. Φύλακας άγγελος της είναι ένα πανέμορφο Golden Retriever, η Harlow που έχει εκπαιδευτεί… ακόμα και να βγάζει τα ρούχα από το πλυντήριο.

Η Harlow έχει το δικό του λογαριασμό στο Instagram – @helper_dog_harlow – και οι φωτογραφίες και τα βίντεο στα οποία πρωταγωνιστεί έχουν γίνει viral καθώς περισσότεροι από 68 χιλιάδες χρήστες ακολουθούν το λογαριασμό της.

«Η Harlow είναι γλυκιά και ανιδιοτελής. Δεν σκέφτεται τον εαυτό της, κάτι που κάνουν σε γενικές γραμμές τα Golden Retriever» ,ανέφερε η Jacquie στο American Kennel Club.

Sorry for the absence, but my girl and I are back! 👊 Check out this neat video of me performing my “water bottle, I’m thirsty” task. 💦 This is just one of the many ways I help @Chronically_Jaquie when she finds herself off balance due to a pain or dizziness flare. 😓 Even when she is stuck in bed or on the couch, she must take her medication on time. 💊 So I’m here to bring her water to ensure that happens! I’m all about lending a paw to help my girl. 🐾❤ I guess that’s why they call me “helper” dog Harlow! 😉 14 Months #goodgirl #helpful #medicine #water #servicedogintraining #servicedog #workingdog #dogtraining #dogsofinstagram #cute #goldenretriever #puppy #instapuppy #puppylove #gloriousgoldens #invisibleillness #chronicillness #spoonie #disability #epilepsy #narcolepsy #asthma #migraine #dysautonomia #POTS #gastroparesis #ehlersdanlossyndrome #hypermobility #fatigue #chronicpain

My “get it” and “give” commands are very important for my girl as we use them every single day! 👊 This retrieval task proves invaluable when @Chronically_Jaquie is feeling unsteady/dizzy from her POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome). 😓 POTS is a result of her autonomic nervous system malfunctioning and it makes it very difficult for her do simple things, such as bending over to pick up dropped items. That is why I’m here to lend a paw! 🐾💪 Also notice how I remain calm even when the toothpaste makes a loud “bang!” As a service dog, I must be able to keep my composure around all types of noises and distractions. 😏 Although I’m only about halfway through my training (and I still have a lot to learn), I’m making great progress! 👌 *Thank you for the pawsome bandana @servicedog_saxon! 😘 14 Months #goodgirl #helpful #shopping #progress #servicedogintraining #servicedog #workingdog #dogtraining #dogsofinstagram #cute #goldenretriever #puppy #instapuppy #puppylove #gloriousgoldens #invisibleillness #chronicillness #spoonie #disability #epilepsy #narcolepsy #asthma #migraine #dysautonomia #POTS #gastroparesis #ehlersdanlossyndrome #hypermobility #fatigue #chronicpain

@Chronically_Jaquie and I had a wonderful time at the mall! 😁 Even though I’m already 13 months old I still require outings specifically for training (such as this one) because in reality, service dog training never ends. There is always upkeep to be done in order to ensure our skills stay sharp. 👊 For example, I have this quirk that my girl refers to as the “upstairs/downstairs phenomenon.” 😅 Looking downstairs from an upstairs location (such as looking past the glass behind us to the bottom floor) used to make me way too over excited; nowadays it may simply distract me a bit, but I’m quick to recover. 😏 If my girl doesn’t continue with my upstairs/downstairs exposures, then I will regress to my original state of unfocused overexcitment. That’s why we are sure to stay on top of my training at all times. 💪 It’s definitely a lot of work, but it’s worth it for my girl’s independence! ❤ 13 Months #goodgirl #mall #training #servicedogintraining #servicedog #workingdog #dogtraining #servicedogsofinstagram #dogsofinstagram #cute #goldenretriever #puppy #instapuppy #retrieversgram #gloriousgoldens #invisibleillness #chronicillness #spoonie #disability #epilepsy #narcolepsy #asthma #migraine #orthostaticintolerance #ehlersdanlos #fatigue #chronicpain #instagood

My girl and I are so humbled to have been featured in a few places over the past couple months. 🤗 We are extremely grateful that big organizations are helping us spread awareness for service dogs and invisible illnesses alike! 🐾💪 Click the link in my bio to find my girl’s interview with the Happy Hound, it’s a great read and you might even learn something new about us. 😉 Thank you Happy Hound for the amazing opportunity, lots of puppy kisses are being sent your way! 👅 14 Months #goodgirl #HappyHound #interview #thankful #servicedogintraining #servicedog #workingdog #dogtraining #dogsofinstagram #cute #goldenretriever #puppy #instapuppy #puppylove #invisibleillness #chronicillness #spoonie #disability #epilepsy #narcolepsy #asthma #migraine #dysautonomia #POTS #gastroparesis #ehlersdanlossyndrome #hypermobility #fatigue #chronicpain #instagood
