The Impact Service Dogs Have for Muscular Dystrophy Patients

Companionship, love, and support

Service dogs offer more than just help, they offer companionship, love and support, all the things that we need in our lives, especially when dealing with a chronic life altering illness.  While studies and more research still needs to be done to get a complete picture of all the health benefits that having a service dog provides on those who suffer from muscular dystrophy and other neuromuscular disorders, it’s pretty safe to say that those lovable, loyal dogs are a gift beyond compare.
