Lily is not a simple mobile service dog. She is also a kind soul and the best sister anyone could ask for. The black Labrador doesn’t just assist her mom, Bridget Evans, who is bound to a wheelchair, but she also helps her sister, Kinley, who is deaf.
Kinley lost her hearing when she was just a puppy. Without Lily’s help, she wouldn’t be able to get through the day with ease. But Lily is always beside her, telling her when it’s time to go outside, go back inside, and assists her any other way she can.
Lily’s mom got her when she was a puppy, and trained her to be a mobility service dog. Now, she helps her mom with many chores and makes sure things are in order around the house. She opens doors, turns lights off and on, retrieves objects for Bridget, and pulls her wheelchair.
Bridget knew she had to share this beautiful relationship with the world, so she created a TikTok and Instagram account to document everything. The two dogs are best friends, and they do everything together. Lily looks up to her older sister and tries to behave more like her. Kinley leans on Lily because she offers her the guidance she needs to navigate the world smoothly.
Evans admires the pair. She knows how precious dogs are, as she had her fair share of interactions with them. She is a mobility service dog trainer and has been training dogs since she was 11. She even founded a non-profit, the Illini Service Dogs, when she was in college. The organisation is run by volunteers and tries to offer trained service dogs to people with different disabilities.
If you ever need a role model in life, this family can be that.
