Kelsie Iris, Heeler/Border Collie/“Purebred Princess” mix (5 y/o), Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH • “She was on the kill list in Louisiana but her foster saw something special in her. She’s now my first service dog. My health got worse in college and I wasn’t as independent anymore. I had seven years of dog training experience, so I developed a training program based off of CCI’s (@ccicanine). She’s a multipurpose medical alert, psychiatric, and mobility service dog with more than 20 different commands. She does a paw for an anxiety alert, like if I start scratching myself – she interrupts self mutilation. She can detect elevated cortisol, increased heart rate, and does a nose bump for hypoglycemia. She does mouthing for an upcoming migraine. She does deep pressure therapy (her whole body weight on top of me) for panic attacks. I also have fibromyalgia, so she’ll lay on my joints like a hot water bottle. She’s changed my world. I joke that she’s the longest relationship I’ve ever been in (three and a half years). She has a lot of service dog badges on her vest because we try to educate the world – there’s still a lot of stigma. Someone once said, ‘You’re not disabled’, and I said, ‘What does disabled look like?’ He didn’t have an answer.” @help.on.four.paws
