Two Belgian researchers have published their Shaggy Dog Story in the British Medical Journal this month.
They tell of a 35-year old patient with a severe sleep disorder that made traveling on public transport a problem because she would fall asleep and miss her stop, often becoming disoriented.
She was paired with a service dog that was trained to wake her for important noises and on public transport. This type of success story points to even more roles for service dogs.
Wake me up, Shaggy!
