DALLAS - While most three year olds fear the prick of a needle, Faith Wilson does it herself. She's never known anything different.
She goes through the drill around 30 times a day to keep her Type 1 diabetes in check.
By her side, is Ruby - a dog more like a doctor.
Ruby's job is to sense a change in Faith's scent, before her blood sugar levels plummet or sky rocket. She then uses a sign used by search-and-rescue dogs to alert mom Sarah, who use to get up every two hours to test her daughter's levels.
