Believe it or not, a 3-year-old girl's life was saved several times by her diabetic alert dogs. What's the specific information? Take a look what has happened.
This girl's mother said, if there is no this diabetic alert dog, her 3-year-old daughter may be no alive now.
This little girl, Faith Wilson, living in Texas, has suffered from a rare form of infant diabetes which has to be constantly monitored.
The little girl's mother was very worried about her daughter's life, “Night times were the worst. I used to have panic attacks every night and wake up and run to her bed, holding my breath, just hoping she was alive.”
The girls' mother, Sarah Wilson purchased a diabetic alert dog named Ruby two years ago for $10,000 by the help of church donations and community support.
Related doctors said each diabetic alert dog is specifically trained to detect by scent if their owner's blood sugar is following 100.
Low blood sugar may induce the changes of the smells, which is just like the smell of nail polish remover. Dogs have extraordinary sensory abilities, it is more sensitive in smelling than humans. So the diabetic alert dogs are trained to act when this smell happens, with barking in alarm or licking their owners constantly.
This dog has thus saved the 3-year-old girl life many times, her mother Sarah Wilson said Ruby has saved her daughter's life many times in the last two years. “I can’t imagine our life without Ruby. I know if it weren’t for Ruby, I would have already buried my child. So I don’t even want to think about life without Ruby,” Wilson said.
