"Diabetes is hell!" says Capri Smith, struggling with the debilitating disease that struck her daughter Ciara at age nine. Angie Simonton felt that a monster attacked her family when Lily succumbed before she was two years old. An equestrian in college, Devon Wright feared stigma and tried to shield her disease from public view. Animal EMT Megan DeHaven and Manhattan businessman Tom Arsenault worried that they would die in their sleep. Tom came to know borough EMTs by name, because he blacked out so frequently. Sharon Stinson, married and in her twenties, thought she would die like Shelby in Steel Magnolias. Sweet Ciara, little Lily, and the rest of the people in this book are all type 1 diabetics. Like three million other Americans they suffer from an incurable autoimmune disease that destroys the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. Sugar rides a rollercoaster in each diabetic's blood stream, sending the body into a catastrophic state. Death casts its shadow over each of them. Desperate, each one sought a diabetic alert dog from Wildrose Kennels. Known as DADs, these British Labradors use their keen sense of smell to notify the diabetic or the caregiver of low and high blood sugar levels, thereby allowing prompt corrections to avert the episode or lessen its severity. Their diabetic owners attest that their dogs save their lives-daily. Lifesaving Labradors explains how the dogs do it, and how they are used to change and save lives.

The book covers a couple of different areas that make it worth the read. First, the dogs. It is lovely to see these amazing Wildrose Dogs featured in this way. I have had direct and extended encounters with one of their Diabetic Alert Dogs and will tell you frankly that you have never seen something as impressive and thought provoking as one of these dogs in action doing what they were trained to do. I cannot say that a Diabetic Alert Dog/Service Dog is the right choice for everyone. It needs to be a good fit for the dog and for the Diabetic person that handles them. They are a big commitment, if you do not feel that you will continue to hone and maintain the dog’s training you should probably not consider it. The maintenance of that training is necessary to keep their skills on point for their Diabetic person’s benefit. But secondly, these are working dogs that were born with traits that make them highly driven. If you do not actively direct that energy the dog will find its own ways to do so and that can turn out in ways that won’t make anyone happy. Also the general public usually only have a vague understanding of Service Dogs and how to handle their presence. This is something to think about. If you have a Service Dog you will find yourself having to talk about not only the dog but about yourself quite a bit. Sometimes it will happen in the midst of being confronted about being where you are with your dog but sometimes it will happen at times when the last thing you want to do is answer another question about yourself or the dog. It goes with the territory, so keep it in mind.With all of that said these dogs absolutely save lives. When utilized as intended it becomes an exceptional relationship for both owner and animal. The second area of interest in this book is the owners. The Diabetics and their families who share their stories. They are moving, sad and hopeful accounts. They are real stories of real people who have struggled under the weight of their disease and they have allowed us into some of their most private and difficult moments. I think that the unique relationship between people and dogs is demonstrated at its best and most mysterious within this book. You will never see something as fascinating as a Diabetic Alert Dog studying its Diabetic owner and telling them what is wrong and the Diabetic studying her dog in reply so that she can decide how to respond. The silent conversation that occurs between the two is a privilege to witness.

The book is a tribute to working Dog's the world over. All Working Breed's. The stories will invoke your emotions and will educate you on how important the lifesaving working dog's are. It will also show you how far we need to come as a society in understanding the importance of them.
