當然，他們彼此可說是「一見鍾情」，馬上就成為形影不離的死黨！

Needless to say, it was love at first sight.

Hailey告訴媒體她平時的生活並不容易，她必須面對癲癇、鬆皮症 (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome)、姿勢性直立心搏過速症候群 (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) 、反應性低血糖 (Reactive Hypoglycemia) 、許多不同過敏原、胃輕癱 (Gastroparesis) 、氣喘與更多其它問題。

Hailey also struggles with several conditions. “I have epilepsy, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, reactive hypoglycemia, severe allergies, gastroparesis, asthma, and more,” Hailey told Fetching Apparel.

Flynn不只是隻服務犬、Hailey最佳的夥伴，他還是最可靠的救命恩人。當Hailey癲癇快要發作，Flynn就能提前感應，讓Hailey有足夠的時間可以反應、求助並找到安全的歇息地方！

Flynn isn't just a friend — he is Hailey's service dog. Flynn can sense when Hailey is going to have a seizure before it happens. This gives Hailey time to respond, get help, and find a safe place.

有一天，Hailey去探訪爸爸工作。等到她與Flynn一起抵達時，一名員工就覺得Flynn很可愛忍不住就想拍拍他，完全忽視了他背心上大大的STOP制止符號。這時，Hailey馬上就叫這名員工停止撫摸Flynn。

One day, Hailey was visiting her dad at work. When she arrived with Flynn, a staff member could not resist how adorable he is. They began to pet him, ignoring the giant "STOP" sign he wears. "I immediately told him to stop [petting Flyyn],” Hailey told the Dodo.

她說：「一般人唯一可以接近Flynn的時機是如果我已經不省人事或是我已經有發作症狀時才行。除此之外，大家都不應該撫摸或接近他，這就是制止符號的意義所在。畢竟如果他受到干擾，一分心我就有可能受傷。所以請大家以後在公共場所看到服務犬，不要干擾他們執勤，謝謝！」

"The only time somebody should ever approach Flynn and I is if I am unconscious and/or having a seizure. Besides that, nobody should try to pet or get near him. I wish people could understand that's what the giant stop sign patch means. If somebody distracts him I can get seriously hurt. If you see a service dog in public please educate your children, your friends, your family, anybody else that they are doing a really important job. Thank you."

就如Hailey所說的，就因為Flynn分了神，湊巧她的癲癇就發作了！她解釋說：「我通常都習慣在發作前預先有10分鐘的警告準備時間，所以那天他發現時我就已經發作了。我還記得當時眼前一片黑，醒來時Flynn就坐在我腿上，而我爸爸就扶著我的頭。我整張臉的左半部都有種刺痛感，讓我忍不住落淚。」

While Flynn was distracted from the petting, Hailey had a seizure. “I am used to him giving me 10 minute warnings, so when he alerted that’s what I thought I had,” explained Hailey. “Out of nowhere I remember the world going black. I woke up with Flynn on top of my legs and my father cradling my head. On the whole left side of my face there was a terrible sting that made me tear up.”

Hailey醒來時就有臉部與地毯摩擦的痕跡與傷口，看了讓人十分心疼！

她在Instagram就曾寫過：「我的服務犬是我的生命線。但我這麼說並不只是想把我們之間的關係講得很可愛，而只是想強調他平時幫我把關周遭環境的一切就等同是我的生命線。一旦他分心，這種事或是任何讓我喪命的事都有可能發生。因此，請不要撫摸服務犬，當然也別觸怒或是跟他們說話。基本上，對服務犬都不要有任何互動。謝謝你！」

"My service dog is my lifeline. I don't say that to be cute. He helps keep me alive just like life support. If he gets distracted this happens. If he gets distracted I can die. Do not pet service dogs. Do not call to service dogs. Do not taunt service dogs. Do not talk to service dogs. Do not do anything to service dogs. Thank you," she wrote on Instagram.

許多人都很想要跟動物有緊密的連結，也往往忘記了他們保護人類時正在做的就是無人能取代的工作！就讓我們一起從他人的錯誤之中學習吧，並更加體諒其他人的動物，讓更多服務犬能夠在關鍵時刻發揮最大的效力！

Many of us are so eager to connect with animals, we often forget that they are protecting their human. Let's learn something from another's mistake and be more mindful of other people's animals!
