Tribute to a life saving diabetic hypo-alert dog and a true friend; Tinker, died 08th Nov 09.

In 2009, Tinker became the first self taught diabetic hypo-alert dog, to be given offical status as an assistance dog for type 2 diabetes in the UK. Although he only lived until the end of this year (Died at age 7) those few months were amazing. This video tribute is a collection of clips from news stories, home videos and pictures, from these few months, assembled in honour of his amazing life.

Tinker; A medical alert dog, a pioneer in bio alert dogs, a life saver, a border collie and most of all a friend.

He will be sorely missed. "R.I.P. , Pups, we miss you"

Self taught.... wow... My dog would never be able to do that. She's not smart enough.
