For 20-year-old Sara Lynn James every day is a gift and a struggle. James is from the Pitt County town of Bethel. She was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when she was very young.
James must check her blood sugar level often. She uses an insulin pump to help keep it under control, but even then there's always the potential of a dangerous change. James says, I've had a lot of problems with lows, my mom has found me unconscious."
That?s why when she heard about service dogs that could help her gain some independence and peace of mind; it was an opportunity she couldn't pass up.
James got in touch with Warren Retrievers out of Orange Virginia and in July she received her new puppy name ?Hope.?
