Meet Lily. This cute black Labrador retriever has quickly become irreplaceable in her owner Bridget and her other dog Kinley’s household. At first, Lily was just a service dog for Bridget, who is in a wheelchair, but Kinley the dog also requires some help as she is deaf. Lily and Kinley became best friends quickly, and now all their owner has to do is say, “Go get Kinley” and Lily rushes to let the other dog know that it’s time to go for a walk. She does so by simply booping Kinley’s nose.
According to their owner, Lily and Kinley spend the day together with Kinley relying on Lily to give her cues or signals. Without Lily, Kinley can become anxious and overwhelmed trying to understand her environment. Lily provides a lot of peace, comfort, and support to Kinley. Lily also learns so much from Kinley and models her behaviors. Bridget seems to be very happy to share a glimpse into their beautiful friendship: “They love each other and they take care of each other. I think there’s a lot we can all learn from Lily and Kinley.”

Bored Panda asked Bridget about Kinley and how she lost her hearing: “Kinley is a 9-year-old yellow Labrador and I’ve had her since she was 8 weeks old. She has some neurological disabilities that resulted in her losing her hearing when she was about 6 months old. We taught her signs to communicate with her and she lives a very happy, healthy life.”

When asked about Lily, Bridget explains: “I trained her as my mobility service dog, which means she performs tasks that help mitigate my physical disability. I taught her ‘Go get help’ for instances where I need more assistance. I think that provided the foundation for her to ‘Go get Kinley.’ Plus, Lily adores Kinley and wants to be together all the time.”
