Biella, the Golden Retriever
Biella is my Golden Retriever. She began working at the office when she was 8 weeks old. Since then, she was initially trained as an Emotional Support Canine and received her first certification as a Canine Good Citizen at the tender age of 1 year. At age 2 1/2, she accomplished service dog status all while struggling to find her life worth living.
Just before age 3, Biella was diagnosed with a severe liver disorder and has had her own challenges to face. She has done that with the support of every person who comes into the office. She developed psychological trauma from all the medical procedures so everyone who enters our office is involved in her re-training.
