She Adopted a Puppy & Found They Were Meant to Be When the Dog Alerted Her to Danger
March 21, 2024
She adopted a puppy and discovered they were meant to be when the dog alerted her to danger during a medical emergency.
Living with POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) can be an overwhelming and challenging journey. The debilitating nature of this condition, characterized by symptoms like dizziness, fainting, and rapid heartbeat upon standing, can often make even the simplest tasks feel like monumental challenges.

God Had Chosen The Perfect Partner
As someone who lives with POTS, trust me when I say doing something as simple as loading the dishwasher can turn into an adventure you never wanted to have. This story warms my heart, knowing God puts special companions in our lives to help us.
In the heartwarming tale of Amanda McCloskey and her furry friend Ryder, it's clear that sometimes, our four-legged companions hold the key to unlocking miracles in our lives. Amanda, facing the challenges of POTS, sought a loyal companion to help her navigate the unpredictable twists and turns of her condition. Little did she know God had already chosen the perfect partner in the form of a sweet pup named Ryder.
“It was supposed to be just a short-term foster,” Amanda said. “I picked up Ryder, brought him home, and about a day later, I fell in love with him. I was like, ‘Okay, there’s something about you. We have this connection now.'”
Ryder Used His Keen Senses to Alert Amanda
Though their journey began with a simple fostering arrangement, from the moment Amanda laid eyes on Ryder, she knew their connection was something special. Ryder's intuitive nature began to shine as they forged a bond, revealing his remarkable ability to predict Amanda's medical emergencies even before formal training had begun. With a bark and a wag of his tail, Ryder became not just a pet but a lifeline for Amanda, offering comfort and protection in moments of need.

In the midst of a POTS episode, Ryder's keen senses alerted Amanda to the impending danger, allowing her to take action and prevent further harm. It was a moment of pure synchronicity, a testament to the unbreakable bond between humans and canines, and a reminder that sometimes, our greatest companions come in the most unexpected packages.
Bonded With Her Adopted Puppy
As Amanda embarks on the journey of training Ryder to be a fully-fledged service dog, their story inspires us all. In the midst of life's trials and tribulations, our furry friends often offer us unwavering support and unconditional love. Together, Amanda and Ryder are proof that anything is possible with a bit of faith, determination, and a whole lot of puppy love.
So let us raise a paw in salute to Amanda and Ryder, a dynamic duo whose incredible journey reminds us that sometimes, it's not just about who rescues who – but rather, the incredible bond that forms when two souls find each other in the most unexpected places.
In the tapestry of life, amidst the trials and tribulations, God has bestowed upon us furry companions as more than just pets—they are blessings and helpers sent to us with love and purpose. These four-legged friends offer more than companionship for those navigating the challenges of conditions like POTS.
They become pillars of support, offering unconditional love and unwavering loyalty in the face of adversity. Their intuitive nature and boundless affection remind us that even in our darkest moments, we are never truly alone. So let us cherish these furry blessings, for in their presence, we find solace, strength, and the undeniable grace of God's love.
