Bella and her Great Dane George

[oneh2obabe]

Eleven-year-old Bella Burton from Woburn, Mass., suffers from Morquio Syndrome, a rare genetic condition that leads to organ damage, abnormal bone development and dwarfism. The disease makes it difficult for the young girl to walk, but with the help of her two-year-old service dog named George, Bella’s days are made a bit easier.



George is not your regular service dog, he is no Golden Retriever but a Great Dane, and thanks to his large size, Bella is able to walk with a lot more ease.

The young girl was diagnosed with the debilitating disease at the age of two. Her mobility has always been aided by either crutches or a wheelchair, but since George came to her life this past January, Bella gained her independence.

“He helps me a lot,” Bella told ABC news. “I lean on him like a crutch.”
