Mae, a black labrador trained as a medical alert dog, has helped her owner regain independence after years of struggling with multiple sclerosis, postural tachycardia syndrome, and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. The owner met Mae in 2023 when the puppy was 11 weeks old and trained her with support from the Medical Detection Dogs charity. Before getting Mae, the owner experienced frequent falls and injuries. Since Mae's training was complete, the owner has returned to activities including horse riding and driving independently.
