Biever has even been in a car accident where a low blood sugar incident resulted in her falling asleep behind the wheel and crashing her car. Because of that she wasn’t allowed to drive anymore and had to quit her job because she couldn’t drive.

Bosia now tells her when her sugar is low, nudging her or pawing her to test her blood whenever it dips below 100. She can even bring Biever her meter, glucose tablets, juice or even her phone to call for help.

It was instances like the car accident where her blood sugar dropped so low so fast that led to Biever to get a service dog.

“I knew about service dogs (before), and I wasn’t sure about what all they could do,” she said. “So I looked into it and then started doing research. About two or three months I did research about which organization to go through because service dogs cost a lot of money, like $25,000. I found a nonprofit; their wait list is long but it was free.”

Bosia came from Can Do Canines, a nonprofit organization from New Hope, Minnesota, where they train dogs for hearing, mobility, diabetes, seizure and autism assistance.

Biever said getting Bosia was the best decision she could have made. Bosia is a lifesaver, she said.
