Never Alone: Jess & Finlay’s Story

When Jess Friday was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2016, it was just the beginning of a long and complicated journey. Even after a later autism diagnosis, her struggles remained largely invisible, dismissed by doctors, and misunderstood by many around her. Jess...

“We have had Archer, our seizure alert service dog, for almost two years now. Until we got him, we could only imagine how life-changing having him would be. The first time he alerted at home and went and got his pouch (it holds Lissa’s rescue drugs) I cried when it was over; the emotions of waiting and the joy of him working on his own was overwhelming. With his alert, we learned my daughter was having so many more seizures than we thought. This helped her medical team change her meds and we are seeing a slight decline in seizures. Many times, Archer’s alert helps Lissa get to a safe place before it happens. This helps prevent all the injuries from falling. We are so grateful to Little Angels and our Service Dog Archer.“
