ENID, Oklahoma - An Oklahoma family adds a new family member to their home to stand guard, so to speak, and watch over their little girl.
Kaleigh Buckminster is only four years but mature beyond her years. Kaleigh was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes days after her first birthday.
"She's an amazing child," said Joy Buckminster, Kaleigh's mother. "She's taken this on like a champion."
But for Joy and her husband Taylor, the task of keeping their daughter safe by constantly checking her blood sugar levels was exhausting.
"Literally, every single night for three years, we set an alarm clock for every two hours," said Taylor.
That is, until Memphis walked through their door.

Seems like it's big business in the US 🙄
