 Hi, I'm Tabitha Bell and this is Nox. I don't think I would have made it to Berkeley without my service dog because I have muscular dystrophy and it affects my balance and strength and so he acts kind of like a counterbalance to help me get around. It was hard growing up with muscular dystrophy because I couldn't run like all the other kids. I couldn't jump. I couldn't really play on the playground or anything and my doctor told me that I would be in a wheelchair by high school. He recommended to my mom that I should just drop out of school now and thankfully my mom did not do that and just pushed me to be the best and I mean now I'm not in a wheelchair and with my service dog I'm getting around stronger than I've ever been before. I started Positive Possibilities because I realized how lucky I was to have a service dog to help me and I knew that I needed to help other people get the same help and care. Positive Possibilities raises money to help pay for service dogs for kids and young adults who can't afford them. We have gifted 9 to date and are working on our 10th placement at the moment and so that's exciting. Knox may not be the most focused service dog but what he lacks in abilities he definitely makes up for in comic relief and he's just a companion for when I'm just lonely I can talk to him he can cheer me up. Knox is giving me my life back.
