Gill Crosby has suffered from PTSD and depression for many years. Last year, she purchased a dog to train as an assistance animal.
As Gil is a nervous patient, she brought the dog, Cooper, to her dental appointment in April 2024.
Speaking to Runcorn and Widnes World, Gil said, “The difference that he has made to my life is massive.
