Read about the life-changing and life-saving stories you are helping to create by providing Diabetic Alert Dogs to Australians in need.

Mark & Josie

Diabetic Alert Dog, Josie, is a gorgeous miniature Labradoodle that was delivered to her recipient, Mark, in May of 2024. Before receiving Josie, Mark’s life was very quiet. It’s now filled lots of affection and energy from his newest companion, Josie. 

Since Josie entered his life, Mark and his wife have since introduced many new daily routines. These include daily walks to keep them all fit and active, and lots of playtime between the pair. Their day-to-day also includes plenty of training, which all three of them thoroughly enjoy; especially Josie who is pictured helping Mark pick out her favourite treat. 

Josie has helped Mark manage his life living with type 1 diabetes, by alerting him to Hypoglycaemic events (low blood glucose levels), along with a continuous glucose monitor (CGM). 

One of the many things Mark likes about having Josie as his Assistance Dog is the companionship she provides. As a favourite of the staff and volunteers at ALHD, we can understand why!
