I know I can smell when Ma is going to have a weakness in her legs or a headache that will cause her to black out. That is why I am her service dog. I once had to alert a worker at a store that ma had passed out. I tried to tell her that something was going to happen but she wouldn’t listen to me. Now she listens when I insist she sits down or lays down.
I give a big paws up for all the working dogs!
