Thread: Ppl ask Mom all the time how I help her. I am a big, fluffy dog. But my job is very important. Mom has a traumatic brain injury (TBI), mobility limitations & PTSD. My job as a Service Dog is to keep her independent and healthy. I am ALWAYS watching her! #Dog #WorkingDog A white fluffy Golden retriever dog wearing a red service doA white fluffy Golden retriever dog wearing a red service doA white fluffy Golden retriever dog wearing a red service doA white fluffy Golden retriever dog wearing a red service do
I watch for changes in her body language, voice tone, or I also am trained to watch for "tells" when symptoms are starting; she taps her finger or wrings her hands. Her voice also changes. No one would notice but me. When this happens I can alert her so she can minimize symptoms.
My immediate actions help her take inventory of her surroundings and decide if she can safely stay. I listen to her breathing, I can smell changes in her body chemicals and I can hear her heartbeat. I know when things have shifted before she does. I need to stay focused on her.
