Dog Is Candidate for Man of The Year

Jamie Reidy comments – between happy tears – on a Goldendoodle’s helping a little girl live a normal life.

 

 

Warning: reading this report from NBC’s Linda Carroll and watching the video will require Kleenex.

“Alida was suffering from a rare lung disease and that she would need a portable oxygen tank to help her breathe. The good news was that the oxygen tank would make their little girl healthy. The bad news was that she’d have to be tethered to the 6-pound tank most of the time.

… with a dog carrying her oxygen tank, little Alida would be free to roam and play with other kids. Enter Mr. Gibbs, a golden doodle trained to be Alida’s constant companion, ever at her side whether it’s scampering down the slide at the playground or trotting alongside as she rides her bike.”
