High School Honors Service Dog In The Best Way EVER

STAFFORD HIGH SCHOOL IN FALLMOUTH, VIRGINIA, DID
SOMETHING AWESOME.
THEY HAVE A STUDENT THERE BY THE NAME OF ANDREW, AND HE HAS
DIABETES.
AS A RESULT, THEY NEED TO HAVE A SERVICE DOG WITH HIM ñ
HE NEEDS TO HAVE A SERVICE DOG WITHIN AT ALL TIMES.
HIS SERVICE DOG, WHO GOES BY THE NAME OF ALPHA, ALERTS HIM
WHAT HIS BLOOD SUGAR IS TOO LOW OR TOO HIGH.
SO, THE DOG ESSENTIALLY KEEPS THIS STUDENT LIFE BY
LETTING HIM KNOW, HEY, YOU GOT TO DO SOMETHING, YOUR
BUDGET IS TOO LOW, OR TOO HIGH.
AND SO, HE HAD ASKED THE SCHOOL IF IT WOULD BE OKAY IF THEY
INCLUDED HIS DOG IN THE YEARBOOK, AND THE SCHOOL
OBLIGED.
AWESOME.
AND SO, TAKE A LOOK OVER THE YEAR BOOK LOOKS LIKE.
THAT'S SO AWESOME!
I LOVE THIS STORY SO MUCH.
I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS.
I LOVE THE FRAMING OF THE DOG'S PICTURE.
NOT THE WHOLE FACE.
I LIKE THAT HE IS KIND OF PEERING UP.
FOR THOSE OF YOU DRIVING CAN'T SEE IT, ESSENTIALLY NEXT TO HIS
PHOTO IN THE YEARBOOK IS A PHOTO OF HIS DOG, ALPHA, AND HE'S JUST
THE BOTTOM THIRD OF THE PHOTO, LOOKING SO ADORABLE, EARS PINNED
BACK, AND JUST MEEK AND HAPPY AND HOPEFUL.
A BLACK LAB.
HE HAS AN ID CARD TOO, DID YOU GUYS SEE THAT.
HE DOES, LET'S TAKE A LOOK.
THIS IS GRAPHIC 19.
FOR THOSE OF YOU LISTENING UNSERIOUS XM, IT'S AN ID CARD.
AND THE DOG IS WEARING ONE OF THOSE ñ
HE'S WEARING A BANDANNA.
SO, LET'S HEAR FROM AJ AND WHAT HE THINKS ABOUT HIS DOG.
HE SAYS, "YES, ALPHA IS REALLY AN AMAZING ANIMAL.
HE MAKES A DISABILITY, SUCH AS MY DIABETES, SUCH A
POSITIVE EXPERIENCE FOR ME AND MY LIFE OVERALL, AND REALLY
TURNS IT INTO A BLESSING INSTEAD OF A NEGATIVE PART OF MY LIFE."
THE DOG SMELLS HIS BLOOD SUGAR AT NIGHT AND GOES, HEY, AND
HE GOES WHAT IS IT BOY?
HE'S LIKE, IS MY BLOOD SUGAR AGAIN SO HE'S LIKE, YET IT'S THE
ONLY THING I NOTIFIED YOU OF.
AND THAT HE GETS HIMSELF SOME INSULIN.
DOGS ARE ñ AT THE MOMENT AT LEAST.
YOU DON'T HAVE A DOG, DO YOU?
MY DOG IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF MY LIFE.
YOU ARE MARRIED.IN MARRIED.
YOU HAVE A MOTHER AND A FATHER WHO LOVE YOU.
I DO, I DO, BUT LIKE, MY DOG PROVIDES STRESS RELIEF, AND
HAPPINESS THAT IS UNIMAGINABLE.
I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE TO BEGIN TO EXPLAIN HOW HAPPY MY DOG
MAKES ME.
GRACE HAS MELTED.
PEOPLE ARE PROBABLY THINKING I'M CRAZY RIGHT NOW.
YOU'RE NOT CRAZY, DON'T LET THEM TELL YOU THAT.
MY DOG IS MY BEST FRIEND AND WE HANG OUT ALL THE TIME.
YOU LOVE HIM SO MUCH HE GIVES YOU A SPEECH IMPEDIMENT.
WHENEVER I TALK ABOUT HIM I TURN INTO A DIFFERENT PERSON, I LOVE
HIM SO MUCH, AND I LOVE YOU TOO ALPHA.
LOOK AT THE CUTE PUPPY.
WHAT HAS HAPPENED.
THEY ARE ALWAYS EXCITED TO SEE YOU, OKAY?
YEAH.
AND I KNOW THAT THIS MIGHT MAKE ME SEEM LIKE A WEAK PERSON,
BECAUSE I NEED A LIVING THING TO BE EXCITED TO SEE ME EVERY
DAY, ALWAYS EXCITED TO SEE ME.
HE FOLLOWS ME AROUND EVERYWHERE.
IF I GET UP IN THE MORNING AND I'M READY TO LIKE, READ THE
NEWS AT BUT THE RUNDOWN TOGETHER, HE WILL COME AND
SIT NEXT TO ME AND JUST WATCH ME DO LIKE READ THE NEWS.
JUST FOLLOWING YOU LIKE, WHEN DO WE EAT?
WE HAVE THIS CAT THAT WE TOOK IN, IT WAS ABANDONED BY THE
GIRL ACROSS THE STREET, AND I'VE COME AROUND ON THIS THING.
I WAKE UP AND SNEEZE ALL MORNING, BUT I GET IT, I
GET CATS NOW.
I FEEL LIKE AN OLD RACIST TO LIKE, MET A BLACK PERSON.
LIKE, THEY'RE NOT THAT BAD.
THIS WAS A GREAT STORY TO END ON.
REALLY IS, AND I LOVE THAT THE SCHOOL ACCOMMODATED IN THIS
WAY, AND IT GOT A LOT OF POSITIVE ATTENTION.
CONSIDERING ALL THE NEGATIVE SCHOOL STORIES WE STARTED THE
SHOW WITH, THIS IS A GOOD ONE AND I WANTED TO END WITH THAT.
