Andrew Tunstall is a 7-year old boy who was diagnosed with cerebral palsy and epilepsy before he was born. Because of this, he experiences seizures and struggles with speech and coordination. He also has behavioral problems.

The Tunstall family considers themselves lucky that they were able to obtain a Golden Retriever service dog with the help of community fundraising and some anonymous donors. The dog was named Jedi and today, he is 4 years old. The Arizona Goldens LLC was the organization that trained Jedi.

Kim Tunstall, Andrew’s mother, shares how Jedi helped him. Jedi alerted Kim of an impending seizure and so she was able to give her son emergency medication. That prevented the boy from getting hospitalized. In the past 6 months, Andrew didn’t have seizures. Although Andrew no longer has frequent seizures, still, Jedi remains attentive of his needs.
