Great Dane Changes Girl’s Life
Bella Burton was born with Morquio syndrome, a rare genetic condition that affects her bones and greatly limits her mobility. She’s undergone multiple surgeries and myriad therapies, but the 11-year-old still struggled to walk on her own, always requiring crutches or a wheelchair to get around.
But all that changed after Bella met George – her Great Dane and best friend. “I lean on him like a crutch,” Bella told ABC News of her canine companion. And that’s not just figurative.
George, a service dog who was trained at Service Dog Project in Ipswich, Massachusetts. George accompanies Bella wherever she goes. “With George, she’s become so much stronger and active, and does anything she says” the girl’s mom, Rachel Burton, told local news outlet Home News.
George’s contributions to Bella’s life have been so profound that he’s being honored by the American Kennel Club (AKC) with the Award for Canine Excellence at a ceremony in December. “George and Bella have an inseparable bond and he will do anything for her. He has helped her gain confidence, independence and happiness,” the AKC wrote on its website.
