Tissues at the ready...

Published 9th Nov 2015

A girl with a rare disease has been helped to walk by a Great Dane.

11-year-old Bella suffers from Morquio Syndrome which can affect growth, movement and breathing.

It meant she had to use a wheelchair or crutches but with George the Great Dane, it's now much easier for her to get around places like home and school.

The service dog helps her get to classes and is always by her side, even at bedtime.

George the Great Dane will be honored with the Award for Canine Excellence in December.
