![]() ![]() When Shirk couldn’t find or secure one that was already trained, her caregiver told her to train one of her own. Karen Shirk had always loved dogs but as a college student, she had other things on her mind – until the sunny afternoon when she fell flat on the sidewalk and ended up in ICU, diagnosed with a neuromuscular disease that would put her in a wheelchair.ĭepressed, bored and uninterested in life, Shirk figured her days would be spent in that chair – until she was urged to get a service dog. Your dog knows you perhaps better than he knows himself, and in “The Underdogs” by Melissa Fay Greene, you’ll see how that could be a real lifesaver. He hopes to share your snack before you even realize you’re hungry, and he often beats you to bed. You were just thinking about going for a walk, and he starting bouncing before you said a word. ![]()
