Isabelle was diagnosed with a brain tumor when she was only two months old. Doctors told her parents that there was almost no chance for her survival, but they went ahead and extracted the tumor anyway. Miraculously, Isabelle survived, but as she grew, suffered the consequences of all the surgeries she had as a child: seizures, PTSD, and depression.
When Isabelle's mom saw her daughter exhibiting suicidal tendencies, she knew she had to do something, so she decided to look up therapy dogs. Soon after, Isabelle and her family adopted Max and began training him to help Isabelle maintain a more active, independent life. The bond between the pair was immediate, and soon, Max will even be able to detect when Isabelle might have a seizure.
According to Isabelle, having Max in her life makes her feel like she can do "anything" now, which is such a strong testament to the healing power of animals!
