💪🐕‍🦺 For #DisabilityPrideMonth, today, we're honored to hear what disability pride means to Chris who's partnered with Service Dog Willy. 

For Chris, Disability Pride Month means another opportunity to educate his community about the life-changing impact of #ServiceDog Willy. 

"My multiple sclerosis (MS) has limited my ability to perform daily tasks. Willy helps me perform these tasks that I’m unable to do or struggle with," says Chris. 🧡

Chris is a retired registered nurse from The State University of New York (SUNY) Upstate Medical University. He was diagnosed with MS in 2005, and he's been partnered with Willy since August of last year. 

Chris wants everyone to join him this month to celebrate those who live with disabilities. 

Thank you, Chris, for sharing your perspective.
