I admit I’ve said it before, but dogs genuinely are great companions to humans. It’s certain at this point, and we don’t really need any more proof.

But we’ll give you one more reason: dogs are awesome, and we need many more of them. They can fall in love with humans in the blink of an eye, resulting in an unconditional relationship.

An incredibly touching story about a dog named Jade that has been living a dual life by helping an elderly woman when she needed moral support and comfort has recently emerged online. Meet Jade, a 35-pound, 1.5-year-old miniature Australian Shepherd/Shiba Inu mix who has a second role as a support dog.

Heath shared a story on Reddit, specifically r/Dogs, in which he narrated that his girlfriend runs a home health care facility. She’s been visiting this one older woman, Mrs. Riddle (not her real identity for confidentiality), for as long as the two have known each other.

Sadly, the woman’s dog died on the commemoration of her husband’s death. This saddened her, but only for a short time.

Heath offered to allow his girlfriend to take Jade to her client’s residence a few weeks ago. They [Jade and the elderly] fell in love the instant their eyes locked.

Jade appears to be aware of her age and fragility, and she is overtly gentle.

Just observing my environment

On their first meeting, she and Jade share breakfast and dinner. Mrs. Riddle had obviously gotten Jade a lot of toys because the two had bonded so well.

Surprisingly, whenever Heath or his girlfriend calls Jade over and says, “want to go to Mrs. Riddle’s residence?” Jade can’t help but jump, giggle, and zoom around.

People thought it was amazing that Heath and his girlfriend were sharing the happiness that dogs can provide simply by being themselves, but even more so for needy people. And dogs appear to have a sixth sense when it comes to determining who requires comfort and moral support.

Sharing the joy that Jade brings

One other person pointed out that doggos only know one type of love: selfless love. We don’t merit such love, but we’re grateful we just have it.

Dogs can give unconditional love

Awesome and heartwarming

Heath got her when she was just a wee pup—8 weeks old

Others lauded Heath for being compassionate and kindhearted, allowing Mrs. Riddle to spend some time with Jade. And it appears that Jade enjoys it as well, so it’s a win-win situation all around.

The sweetest thing ever

Jade is a good girl

Thank Jade for me

Jade enjoys running, balls, beef liver treats, and, of course, spending time with Mrs. Riddle

Oh my...

Sharing your precious dog

This is so wholesome

Jade is an angel

What a sweet story

You guys are awesome

Cute...

Jade is now 1.5 years young

Humans can boast all they want that they know how to love unconditionally and unreservedly, but they are nowhere near our furry friends – doggos. Dogs can read your heart and love you for who you are.

It’s no surprise Mrs. Riddle and Jade clicked on first sight, and their companionship waxed stronger day by day. We know you were moved by this lovely dog story.
