A fifteen year old girl who has cerebral palsy is benefiting from a “service dog” that she is being trained to work with. The dog “Precious” is being trained to help the girl when nobody else is around to help her. Tasks such as opening a dresser drawer, handing money to a cashier, and so forth. The girl and dog must be trained in how to interact with each other. The dog needs two years of formal training and the cost ($25k) is being picked up by a non-profit dog training center and the girl’s classmates.
