MEET LIONS FOUNDATION OF CANADA DOG TRAINERS AND DOG GUIDES
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12 AND SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 13 | 11AM - 4PM

Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides at Haute Dog and

Meet Purina Animal Hall of Fame Inductee
Nettle on Saturday, September 12 from 11am-4pm
Nettle,
an intelligent, two-year-old Yellow Labrador with a truly keen sense of
smell, joined
the Bordman family in 2013. She provided Terry and Beata Bordman with a
much needed extra set of hands – or rather, paws – to help care for
their 12-year-old twin daughters Brooke and Jade who suffer from two
life-threatening conditions: Type 1 Diabetes and
Celiac disease.
As one of the first diabetic alert dogs to graduate from the
Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides, Nettle was already
considered a special service animal, but her role in caring for the
Bordman twins would make her even more extraordinary – in that she would
be responsible for the life of not just one,
but two young girls.
Within the first few days of joining their home,
Nettle immediately went to work, alerting Terry and Beata that
Jade was suffering a serious diabetic low in the middle of the night.
Nettle has come to the rescue of the twins time and time again. From
alerting Terry and Beata, to even fetching the girls’
sugar kits when they are suffering from a diabetic low, Nettle can be counted on to always be there for Brooke and Jade.
