Lynne Emerson is a former medical device consulting executive who found her life dramatically changed with the diagnoses and progression of Multiple Sclerosis, a deterioration of the nervous system. As Lynne’s mobility became more challenging and falls more persistent, her independence seemed to be slipping away at the age of 50.
Enter Willow. Having been told about Service Dog Project by a veterinarian friend who had a service dog in her practice, and after much time and prodding, Lynne reached out to SDP. Paired in August, 2013 she and the organization now work together to educate the community, law enforcement, and businesses regarding service dogs and service dog laws. Lynne says they do so as a way to “give back” for the “amazing gift” she received when Willow was donated to her by Service Dog Project, “Willow restored my independence, my sense of safety and my mobility. She is my partner, my friend and is essential in every aspect of my life. She has given back what was taken and so much more.”
