Unconditional Love: Loyal Dog Refuses To Leave Mom's Side After Saving Her Life

But this special connection started when Shauna Darcy decided a dog would help her in her endless fight with anxiety. And she wasn't wrong at all. Because, with Ruby there was love at first sight. And the lovely pup has proved to be more than a service dog. Without realizing, when Shauna got Ruby, she won a friend. A true one! While she was training to be a service dog I noticed that she started picking up on changes in my heart rate and would act funny, Shauna told the Dodo. For example, paw at me, try to get my attention, get on top of me [and other stuff like that].
