NORTH PLATTE, Neb. Two young sisters in North Platte are getting help from a service dog to help manage their Type 1 Diabetes.
The one year old puppy will alert someone when the disease gets out of hand.
Tim Connelly knew with both of his daughters having Type 1 Diabetes they needed help.
His wife Liz did some research on Diabetic Alert Dogs and found the company Service Dogs by Warren Retrievers.
"We knew it was going to be life changing," said Tim.
That is when they decided to purchase the service dog.
Connelly says Type 1 Diabetes is an auto immune disease. It's where your pancreas decides it just doesn't want to produce any more insulin.
