Leah and Yarru (Ru for short), my friend Rachel's medical alert dog, were fast friends and the best of buds too. Here they are in their service dog attire (that was Leah's first harness and now she has a vest with a mobility handle) after finding a dog bed on the ground level while we were looking at leashes.
