Darby, a diabetic alert dog, is trained to help Abbey when her blood sugar drops dangerously low. Part of her life-saving duties includes fetching juice to help Abbey recover, a task she’s mastered with unwavering dedication. Normally, Darby is rewarded with a treat for her hard work—but one day, this heroic pup decided to go above and beyond.
In a now-viral TikTok video, Abbey humorously captioned, “Darby is trying to get some extra credit.” It all started when Darby brought Abbey a juice as usual. But instead of stopping at one, she kept going, returning with not two, not three, but five juices! While it might’ve seemed like Darby was angling for a jackpot of treats, her concern for Abbey’s health was clear.
Abbey eventually reassured Darby that one juice was plenty, but it’s hard to fault such devotion. “Better safe than sorry,” Abbey joked, appreciating her furry guardian’s commitment.
The heartwarming clip of Darby’s overzealous care touched viewers worldwide, showcasing not just the vital role service dogs play but also the unconditional love and concern they have for their humans. Whether motivated by worry or the hope of extra treats, Darby proved that her instincts as a protector come first.
