Luna: Chelmsford's Four-Legged Hero Nurse

Luna, the delightful Springerpoo who has transformed the life of Chelmsford nurse Caroline Fielden. Caroline, an advanced nurse practitioner, has faced her own health challenges, but with Luna by her side, she continues to care for her patients with dedication and a smile.

Luna recently graduated as a certified support dog, thanks to the incredible work of the national Support Dogs charity. This four-year-old bundle of joy assists Caroline with daily tasks, allowing her to maintain her independence and continue her vital work at Silver End Surgery in Witham. From fetching the post to helping Caroline dress, Luna's support goes beyond practical tasks; she also boosts Caroline's confidence to face the world.

Caroline, who has mobility issues, shares how Luna's presence has been life-changing. "Before Luna, I struggled to go out due to my mobility," Caroline explains. "Now, she not only helps me physically but also diverts attention away from my struggles, making outings more comfortable."

Luna's role extends to Caroline's workplace, where she is adored by staff and patients alike. Paula Swash, service manager at Silver End Surgery, highlights the love and support Luna brings to the team, noting how they adapted to having an assistance dog in their midst.

Caroline's journey with Luna began in early 2022, leading to a successful partnership that has enriched both their lives. Luna's hypo-allergenic fur is an added bonus, considering Caroline's allergies.

Support Dogs continues to seek hypo-allergenic dogs to train as assistance animals, expanding their reach to help more people like Caroline. For those interested in supporting this cause or learning more, visit their website or give them a call.

And if you're considering a move to Chelmsford, remember that we at Bond Residential are here to help you find the perfect home for you and your furry friends!
