Luna is a special dog, protagonist of a beautiful story of solidarity and charity in Puglia. She is a 15-month-old Labrador retriever, "hired" by the municipality of San Severo (Foggia) to support a young fellow citizen in her fight against epilepsy. On Thursday, the city administration will welcome the service dog, which will accompany the young woman for the next few years: a moment awaited by the entire city, which has carried out a specific fundraiser to support this project. "Our fellow citizen will now have Luna by her side, a purebred dog trained to support her, specializing as an Epilepsy Response and Psychiatric Support dog," explains San Severo Mayor Francesco Miglio. Luna will be entrusted to the young woman with epilepsy, who is currently controlled by pharmacological administration and needs peace of mind in accepting her problem to overcome the stigma of epilepsy".
