Ariel, The Amazing Service Dog, Is Featured In The Yearbook Alongside Her Beloved Little Hooman
Ariel is the kind of service dog people remember long after they meet her. She is always close to Hadley Jo, the little girl she helps keep safe, and their bond is obvious in every photo.
Hadley Jo lives with special needs, and Ariel serves as her seizure alert dog, helping her parents act fast when a seizure is coming. That support gives Hadley Jo more freedom, and it also means Ariel goes everywhere with her, including school and class photos.
When the yearbook came out, one sweet detail made the story even better, Ariel was right there beside her little hooman. Read on.
