Welcome back, listeners, to the podcast that exists to celebrate the working dog! The Hero Beside Me explores the professional and private lives of working dogs of all disciplines. Today I bring you a conversation I had with Brittney, a 30-year-old children's daycare professional who has MS and uses a wheelchair. She shares with us what life is like with a mobility assistance dog, her journey to acquiring her service dog, April, and what the general public should know about service dogs.
