Dory
Darlene and Dory
Hi, my name is Dory and I'm a service dog. My young man Matt has two brain injuries, seizures, dystonia, and a bunch of other complications from his brain injuries. One evening we were sitting around our fire pit roasting hot dogs. I noticed Matt was going to have a seizure so I got between him and the fire. Everyone was trying to get me to move so I wouldn't get burned. I wouldn't move they needed to understand Matt was in trouble. Mom finally realized what I was trying to tell her, she grabbed Matt's chair and moved him away from anything that would harm him. Mom then told me what a good girl I was, then realized my fur was on fire. She put it out and checked me over, I was fine, afterall I have a lot of fur; besides I wouldn't have cared if I got burned I had to take care of my young man. Mom says I'm a hero and Matt's savior. I don't understand why all the fuss, I'm not a hero I was doing what mom trained me to do, protect and help Matt. I love Matt and would die for him if I had to.
