German Shepherd Goes To College So His Human Can Too! #GrabYourTissues This Is A Tear-Jerker

This German shepherd goes to college everyday so his human can go too 🙂 When you find out the story behind this you’re going to melt like hot butter 🙂 Grab your tissues people!

One day when Nick Ackerman stepped out into the cold Michigan winter, he slipped on the ice and fell down. Although he wasn’t hurt, he couldn’t get up because of a rare genetic disorder called TAR Syndrome that he suffered from – a condition that left him without much of his arms. Lucky for him, his German shepherd service dog called Troy was there to help him up.

Nick didn’t want to rely on anyone so earlier he resisted the relationship with the 1 year old German shepherd, but when he found himself unable to get up on his own, he grabbed Troy’s leash and the German shepherd pulled him back to his feet – this is when Nick reevaluated his relationship with Troy and their friendship began 🙂

“The best thing about him is people stare at the dog, not me,” Nick says. People don’t ask him about his hands or arms, instead complementing Troy, saying, “You have a beautiful dog.” Check out the rest of the story in this video and finally don’t forget to Like and Share this adorable post with your friends 🙂
