Life of an Assistance Dog

  • 12 years ago
Compilation video of some of the tasks Freya performs to mitigate my disabilities. (The reason that Freya opens drawers for me or brings objects that are nearby, is because I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. I have to be very careful about what I do with my limbs. I dislocate joints, dislocate bones and burst blood vessels very easily. I also have chronic pain and fatigue. If I open a drawer I may not be able to use my arm again for an hour, I wouldn't be able to get the object I wanted out of it, and it would all be very pointless. Freya may as well open the drawer so that I can get what I need. I have also experienced blackouts just because I was using my arms and this overworked me too much, so where Freya is able to assist me, I am going to let her!!).
