Dogs are a beautiful species because they can connect with us and try to simplify our lives. Every day the dog comes to see the elderly woman to cheer her up.

Jade, a 35-pound, 1.5-year-old Australian Shepherd and Shiba Inu mix, has been living a “second life” as a support dog, according to Heath, Jade’s human companion who consented to an interview with Bored Panda.

In a brief narrative posted on Reddit, specifically under the r/Dogs topic, Heath mentioned that his partner manages a home health care facility.

This is Jade’s story about living “a second life” and helping an elderly person in need. It was recently posted online by Reddit.

The woman and Jade had been close friends for a long time. Sadly, on the day of her husband’s passing, the woman’s dog also passed away. She was very irate about this.

Jade should accompany them to Heath’s girlfriend’s client’s home, he advised. Since Jade is aware of how old and frail she is, she seems to be acting delicately on purpose. According to Heath’s account, she eats breakfast and dinner together with Jade.

Because of their apparent compatibility, Mrs. Riddle gave Jade a “mountain of toys.” Every time Heath or his colleague asks Jade if she wants to go to Mrs. Riddle’s, she can’t help but jump, shriek, and run away.

According to Heath, the buyer said that her life now had meaning. While I’m at work, Jade goes to Mrs. Riddle’s house. She may be reached Monday through Friday from 8 am to 4 pm. Jade appears to have made this her full-time occupation! And it’s incredible to consider that Jade consciously transformed herself into a therapy dog for a person who had experienced a tremendous deal of loss.

In general, Heath mentioned that he likes writing and talking about Jade, which is what motivated him to share this story. He thought that Reddit’s community of adorable puppy lovers would appreciate and benefit from this.

Since she was just 8 weeks old, Heath has had Jade as a dog. He got her from a woman in Palmer, Alaska, hoping she would help his mental state. Jade’s mother is a cross between an American Eskimo dog and a Shiba Inu, while her father is an Australian shepherd.

Mrs. Riddle lost her dog on the anniversary of her husband’s passing.

Heath suggested that his girlfriend bring Jade over to assist Mrs. Riddle. They connected immediately away.

As part of his “frugality and adventure experiment,” he constructed a sleeper for his car, and the two are presently boondocking in it.

Jade is adorable, but she also guards myself and the other individuals she sees as part of our pack fiercely. She is so tender. Heath said, “She’s cuddling into my side as I’m writing this,” in reference to Jade’s dogonality. Caninality? Dogsona? Your decision is yours.

Given that she is half Eskimo dog, it should come as no surprise that she likes to jog. Heath admitted that he frequently uses a leash to tether her to him while skateboarding down Anchorage’s Coastal Trail.

Jade values her friendship with Mrs. Riddle and spends a lot of time with her.

She likes to play fetch. I bought her about 60 racquetballs for her first birthday and gave them to her all at once. She totally lost it when the balls started to bounce!

She has been trained, just like Heath’s dog. She became completely infatuated with beef liver snacks when she first discovered them. But let’s return to the story. Mrs. Riddle was not her real name, and Heath reiterated in the comments that she had previously worked as a teacher in Texas. The responses from everyone showed their admiration for Jade and her story.

When Heath got her to support his mental health, she was an 8-week-old puppy.

The general public thought it was fantastic that Heath and his companion are promoting the joy that dogs can bring while also helping those in need. Dogs also appear to have a sixth sense when it comes to recognizing those who need assistance.

One commentator said that only dogs are able to comprehend unconditional love. Despite the fact that we don’t quite deserve it, we are grateful for it. Others praised Heath for exercising compassion by allowing Mrs. Riddle to spend the day with Jade. Everything seemed to be in order because Jade didn’t seem to be having any issues at all.

Jade, who is 1.5 years old, enjoys hanging out with Mrs. Riddle as well as jumping around, playing with balls, eating foods made of cow liver, and snacking on such foods. It seems to be a success overall because Jade also enjoyed it.

Jade is lovely, and we hope the best for her. What a wonderful dog!
