Meet Bella and George: a sweet little girl and her giant Great Dane. Bella and George do everything together, forming an immediate bond from the time they first met last year. Bella, 11, was diagnosed with Morquio Syndrome at age 2.5, an extremely rare disease that attacks her bones and makes it difficult for her to walk unsupported. Until she met George, her service dog, she was forced to use crutches or even a wheelchair to get around, but neither felt like the perfect fit. She wanted to be like every other little girl at school, and now that she has this dog in her life he’s helping her do just that. George was the answer Bella needed, and now her days of sadness are filled with endless happiness.

With Bella being 43 pounds, and George a whopping 131 pounds, this giant dog is proving he’s really more than just a “Great” Dane, he’s one little girl’s dream come true.

Thanks to the Service Dog Project who specifically train Great Danes as mobility service dogs, Bella was able to meet George who changed her life in ways she never thought possible. We know that George has found himself a best friend for life, and proves that he’s really much more than just a “Great” Dane. Share this heartwarming story with your friends.
