The Morgan and Yoda Story
She may not be a Jedi master like her namesake, but five year old Morgan’s companion dog, Yoda is a different kind of hero and gives Morgan a paw to hold.
Yoda is there for Morgan everyday, helping him pick things up and brightening up his day with just a wag of her tail. Yoda opens the door to a new independence for Morgan, she takes care of him so his parents feel safe to let him play without their constant supervision.
“She’s [Yoda] has absolutely changed Morgan’s life. He’s got someone just for him and he loves getting Yoda to go and visit on his wheelchair for cuddles,” Morgan’s mum, Jennie said. “When he’s wheeling around outside or playing, Yoda is always following him. They are very much a team.”
Yoda is Morgan’s best friend but she also helps him improve his motor skills and his speech as he is constantly talking to her. Yoda and Morgan do everything together, even go on holidays.
“We went away recently and went to the beach a lot,” Jennie said. “I could tell Yoda really wanted to go play in the sand and run around but instead she sat with Morgan and helped him build a sandcastle, sniffing all the shells he was decorating it with.”
Morgan is in good paws these days with his best friend, Yoda by his side.
“Yoda is definitely Morgan’s girl but she’s also very much a part of our family. We all love her,” Jennie said.
To help a dog like Yoda become an Assistance Dog why not sponsor a puppy?
