If you ever had a dog, then you know that they are much more than pets. They make for great confidents, great therapists and great friends. And for some, they prove to be a chance at a new life. Because of a rare genetic condition called Morquio Syndrome that affects her bones, 11-year-old Bella Burton relied on her crutches for everything. She couldn’t even take a few steps without them, but that all changed when she meet George, a Great Dane. The dog helps Bella participate in all sorts of activities and even walk to class, which was previously extremely difficult without crutches.
