Gene and Louie, the Wonder Dog

Gene is a friendly guy, early 60's, who has been diagnosed with ADHD. He has the medication, but needs a companion who can sense when he needs to take it (this is fairly common with some ADHD patients). Gene says that LOUIE 'keeps him on track'; but having seen this little Rat Terrier in action, he does a lot more than that. Being a certified service dog, LOUIE is authorized to accompany Gene wherever he goes, and that he surely does!

Gene has, as his primary transportation, a thirty year old Honda motorcycle and takes regular long distance trips, camping in the wilderness and making every penny count. LOUIE is with him everywhere he goes, riding in a sling at Gene's chest, his paws resting on a 'tank bag' sitting on the motorcycle's fuel tank. In close proximity to his master and best friend, LOUIE can keep tabs on his condition and let Gene know when 'it's time'.

Gene tells stories of LOUIE's heroics, and seeing the two of them together I cannot help but believe every one. LOUIE, the Wonder Dog, earns his title each and every day. LOUIE is a true hero to Gene, and one friendly little dog.
