Service As the disgruntled owner finally walks for the first time in years, the dog jumps with joy

Cienna Ditri, who had lost her ability to move, had cause to rejoice when, with the use of a new therapy, she was finally able to walk once more. As excited as Piper was to see Cienna on crutches, Piper, her devoted and loving service dog, had been anticipating this moment for years. In a video that was circulated online, the 5-year-old wirehaired vizsla could not control his enthusiasm and could be seen jumping in celebration.

Cienna and Piper used to go hiking, surfing, and boogie boarding together, but Cienna’s declining mobility prevented her from engaging in any of these activities. Despite her impairment, Piper stayed by her side and helped her with a variety of activities, including getting her medicine, picking up fallen objects, pressing accessible door buttons, and letting her know when she needed medical treatment.

Even though Cienna was far from nimble, being able to walk a short distance after starting the new therapy was a huge accomplishment for her. The two may now take walks and engage in outdoor activities in northern Michigan, exactly as they used to, much to Piper’s delight .

Piper has the nicest personality, according to Cienna, who said that he is always her biggest supporter and is content to cuddle with her when she’s sick. Piper is equally content to soak it all in and share those rare moments that make life spectacular when she wants to spend a day exploring .

They have a strong link, and Piper has repeatedly alerted Cienna before allergic reactions cause her to pass out, before she suffers from recurrent spells of paralysis, or when she stops breathing. Cienna calls Piper her best buddy, and their tender moment when Cienna took her first few steps following the new therapy was quite touching .
