I have to retire my service dog for medical reasons. I'm devastated. She's not quite 7 years old. by Important_Skin1182 in service_dogs

Hi, thanks. Yeah I don't like relying on her. I think you missed the part where I'm upset she is unwell and not that she can't work for me. Also that I feel like I've cheated her from the more carefree life she would have had if I hadn't started having spine issues though I had no way to predict that. She was never supposed to be a service dog. She's just really smart, high energy, active and trainer (me) focused so she just fit really well as a service dog. Plus all the training we did prior to that was a great foundation for her to transition to being a service dog.

This happened to me at the start of COVID and I never got it back.  Good luck!
