When most people see this photo of Bella and her human,
Valerie Parrott, they break out into a smile and utter an 'aaw!!'. But the
meaning of this photo runs much deeper than Valerie & Bella sharing a sweet
moment on Valerie’s wedding day.

Bella is a medical alert and psychiatric service dog. She’s
performing an incredibly important task in this photo - a task that would help
Valerie enjoy one of the most special days of her life. Valerie says:
“Right before the
photo was taken she had alerted me to my increasing anxiety and was trying to
calm me down and was performing a grounding task. Basically it helps me to take
a moment away from whatever is causing the anxiety and keep me from having a
panic attack.”
That stunning photo of a bride with her best friend captures
the beauty of a service dog team - the beauty of what it’s like to put your
life in the paws of a pup, knowing that your dog will do everything she can to
keep you safe.

Bella played a crucial role in Valerie’s wedding to Andrew
Parrott. Valerie and Andrew have been dating for two years, which is also the
same amount of time that Bella has been in Valerie’s life. Consequently, Bella
and her dad share an incredible bond. Valerie says:
"It’s actually a funny
story because as we were driving to the Sioux Falls falls where we got engaged,
Andrew was so nervous that Bella kept alerting me to his rising anxiety. She’d
never alerted to him before so I thought she was alerting to me and I couldn’t
figure out what was going on. Ha!"
The 3 ½yr old Yellow Lab walked down the aisle with Valerie
and her father, Kurt Menning. Valerie’s wedding photos have gone viral and
landed the service dog team on the front page of Reddit. While this newfound fame is a bit
overwhelming, Valerie says that it’s the perfect opportunity to educate people
about service dogs.

There’s a lot of confusion about service dogs. People think
they are only for the blind or visibly disabled. However, people with invisible
disabilities, like anxiety and other psychiatric illnesses, sometimes need
service dogs. There are also service dogs for dozens of other invisible
illnesses. In fact, one of Bella’s tasks is alerting Valerie to severe
migraines. Additionally, Valerie says that Bella:
"…Helps with side
effects from medication (like passing out). she is also response trained for
when these events happen. A response task can be anything like getting help,
getting me to a safe place and sitting or lying down. Those are just a few
tasks she does."

On her blog, Valerie talks about one
of the things that she really wants people to understand about service dogs:
"So many people don’t know that service dogs can be used for
so many invisible illnesses. The other thing is a lot of people look at a
service dog team and forget that it is because of that partnership, that both
dog and handler can not only survive life, they can thrive at it."
