The facility in Great Horwood, Milton Keynes introduced little Bruno to the team.
Bruno will be trained up to become one of their Medical Alert Assistance Dogs, who support people with complex health conditions who have limited awareness of an impending life-threatening medical event.
Using their amazing sense of smell, dogs can be trained to identify minute odour changes emitted prior to an emergency and alert the person to take preventative action.
The dogs are currently working for people with:
- Type 1 diabetes
- Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (PoTS)
- Addison’s disease
- Severe allergies
- Other endocrine disorders
- Episodes of sudden health deterioration
