Doris
Worker Nominee
Doris
Doris is a Leonberger and she is my disability assistance dog, which not a role Leonbergers are known for. She helps me undress, empties my washing machine, picks up the mail, helps when out shopping & picks up things I drop. After more than 50 years of life I have just found out I have Aspergers, as well as the PTSD I already suffer from. Doris knows when I need some extra reassurance. She knows when I need a hug or to take time out and she will just sit calmly by my side. If I have a bad dream she will be by my bed. She makes me get up and go out for some air and exercise every day. I’m nominating Doris for a SuperDog Worker Award because, without her, I feel I would just be another military veteran statistic who found life too much.
