Chloe Fuller, a 23-year-old native of Lancashire, was compelled to leave school when she was a young adolescent after receiving an Ehlers-Danlos and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome diagnosis (PoTS).
As she was having trouble accepting her disability and lack of independence, the service dog Ted entered her life and completely transformed it. Ted quickly picked up more than 100 orders from Chloe that were intended to assist her with routine chores that most people would take for granted, such as putting on shoes and assisting with recovery from blackout periods.
Chloe is now working to dispel myths about disabilities and foster a positive mindset for people who are affected by impairments alongside her “super dogs.”
Chloe, a 19-year-old woman, has taught her pet spaniel how to assist her with household chores including putting away laundry and retrieving stuff. The genetic link to Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, which has severely compromised Chloe’s joints, is what causes Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, which results in an increase in heart rate after standing or sitting up.
Chloe Fuller met Ted, a five-month-old puppy, when she was just 14 years old. Ted would go on to change Chloe’s life.
Chloe had postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (PoTS), an uncommon illness that causes a rise in heart rate after standing or sitting up.
Chloe was homeschooled beginning at age 13 because her illness made it difficult for her to attend a school like other children her age. Chloe was utilising a wheelchair by the age of 16 because her joints were so weak.
Ted, who Chloe met through Dog Assistance in Disability (AID), immediately adjusted to her wheelchair though and turned out to be a very useful assistance dog.
The pair qualified as one of Dog AID’s youngest and quickest relationships during the following 13 months. Ted assisted Chloe in putting on her shoes and in her recovery from blackouts, among other things. He even established his own Facebook and Instagram accounts, turning into a sort of online celebrity.
Ted allowed Nicola, Chloe’s mother, to go back to work two days per week. Chloe says about Ted, “I don’t know what I would do without him,” that he has brought her laughter and joy.
