Service dogs are not pets. They are becoming an important part of society as aides to those with medical disabilities, such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), autism, multiple sclerosis, hearing loss, and blindness. In these cases service dogs are assigned to help improve the quality of life of the individual. In this film, I follow Chris Slavin and her service dog, Earle, through their daily life. In working with them, I attempted to gain a greater understanding of what it means to live and work with a service dog as well as how the relationship has significantly changed her life.
