In fact, this particular dog, named Jade, visits an elderly woman every day to provide her with companionship and comfort.
According to Heath, Jade's owner who was interviewed by Bored Panda, this 35-pound, 1.5-year-old Australian Shepherd and Shiba Inu mix has taken on a new role as an assistance dog, giving her a "second life."
The story of Jade's transformation into a therapy dog began when Heath's partner, who manages a home health facility, brought Jade to the home of a client, an elderly woman who had recently lost her beloved dog on the same day as her husband's passing.
To help the woman cope with her grief, Jade was introduced to her and quickly became her constant companion. They share breakfast and dinner together, and Jade has even received a "mountain of toys" from Mrs. Riddle, as they have grown so close.
In fact, Jade seems to have made it her full-time job to be there for Mrs. Riddle, accessible to her every weekday from 8 am to 4 pm.
Heath believes that Jade's evolution into a therapy dog for someone who has been through so much grief is truly amazing and inspiring.
He shared their story on Reddit, hoping to spread the joy that Jade brings and to show the world how much dogs can help those in need.
Jade has been Heath's loyal companion since she was just 8 weeks old, and he initially adopted her with the hope that she could improve his own mental health.
A cross between an Australian Shepherd, an American Eskimo, and a Shiba Inu, Jade is a beautiful and loving dog who loves jogging and playing catch with her many racquetballs. She is also trained to provide assistance to those in need, just like Heath.
Jade's story is a heartwarming reminder of the incredible power of dogs to touch our lives in ways we never imagined.
We are grateful for the unconditional love and support they offer us, and we hope that Jade's story inspires others to share the joy and companionship of dogs with those in need.
