Occurred on August 8, 2022 / Brighton, Michigan, USA

Info from Licensor: "Cienna Ditri has been creating engaging and education content surrounding her life as a young woman with multiple chronic illnesses with service dogs for a little over five years. Piper, her adorable service dog (medical alert and mobility service), has been by Cienna's side every day; through all the ups and downs of her medical and personal journey. Cienna has been a non-ambulatory wheelchair user for the past two years, and an ambulatory wheelchair user before then- until most recently when she received a new medication which has allowed her to be able to learn how to walk again. This video, taken at Cienna's home in Michigan, shows Piper seeing Cienna walk for the first time in years. Piper is so excited to see Cienna upright and taking her first few steps, he can hardly contain his joy! But, being the smart and well-trained partner he is, cautiously jumps up to his hind legs to showcase his elation while staying out of the way of Cienna's crutches. This video showcases the love between Cienna and Piper."
