Service dog Franz transforms life for amputee Dana Lawson

Dana Lawson, an above-the-knee amputee, has found profound life changes through her service dog, Franz. Franz, a Lab-golden retriever cross, was raised by incarcerated women at Coffee Creek Correctional Facility in Oregon, who documented their experiences with him in a scrapbook. Lawson, who uses forearm crutches due to painful desmoid tumors and does not use a prosthesis, relies on Franz for physical assistance with daily tasks and for psychosocial support, which has significantly improved her well-being and reduced her need for therapy.
