The arrival of a guide dog called Diamond in the life of little Ella was a huge trigger. In just a few days, the latter, suffering from a form of autism, came out of her bubble thanks to the canine.
Ella , 10, suffers from an autism spectrum disorder and poor vision. Because of this, she was in a state of isolation from a young age and had very little interaction with those around her. Today, the situation is totally different thanks to Diamond , a female Labrador Retriever who has become her best friend, confidante and source of comfort, tells Daily Star .

The mother of the child, Nicola Moss , cannot believe it. She didn’t expect a bitch to have such an impact on her daughter. The family, who live in Belper in the English county of Derbyshire, had tried different methods for 6 long years to no avail. Until Diamond adoption in August 2020.
The idea came to them when Ella had met another guide dog when she was 4 years old. It was a key moment; although she had hardly ever spoken before, she had spoken her first words while addressing the animal. His master had then suggested to the Moss to think of this solution.
