Erin Condrin, from Queensland in Australia. Erin has a condition called Classical Type Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, a tissue disorder that makes it difficult for her to do a variety of everyday tasks, and causes her joints to dislocate up to 20 times per day.
But on hand to help Erin and make her life a little easier, is faithful service dog Lacey.
“Thanks to Lacey,” Erin told Buzzfeed. “I am so much more independent. If I drop something, I can ask Lacey to pick it up, instead of waiting for someone to come over and help me. She helps me open and close doors, meaning I can use accessible bathrooms independently. I can now change clothes and carry bags more easily, and she even helps me with wheelchair transfers by placing my footplate in the correct position.
“Emotionally, too, she has made such a positive impact. During hospital stays and rest periods at home, I know I always have someone by my side. Being a young disabled person can be daunting, but facing the world with an adorable fluffball by my side makes it so much easier.”
So who else to bring to her school formal but her loving pooch? Yep Erin brought Lacey to her prom, and get this, they wore matching dresses! The cutest thing you’ve ever heard or what?
Erin wore a gold lace dress, and aptly Lacey donned a pretty lace number in the same material. Too sweet!
SHARE if you think Lacey is the cutest prom date ever!
