Many of us tend to blame our surroundings and circumstances when things don’t go our way. After learning about what Ian Unger did in order to get a service dog for himself that would help him board the school bus in a normal routine will definitely move you and make you think deep.

This 6-year-old fellow was unable to ride the bus because of an absence of an adult caretaker who would be taking care of the maintenance of the sugar level in his blood as he was suffering from Type 1 diabetes.

But as they say that determination is power, Ian Unger and his family found out an alternate way with which, he could not only travel by bus but could also enjoy the company of the fellow students while traveling. A solution by Ian Unger and his family was proposed which involved getting a diabetic alert service dog for him, the process of which costs $25,000. But the training of the service dog is not an easy one.

As per the statements released over these service dogs, it has been formulated that these dogs are trained and can sense the changes which occur in the blood sugar levels of individuals with their breathing or sweat level and simultaneously hint them to take an action immediately. Moreover, these dogs are also trained to get food or the glucose meter for the person when needed.

To cover the cost of this entire process, brave heart Ian Unger took over his family’s business of selling the pumpkins and made enough money for the service dog. His will to go beyond his age and do stuff that we can’t even imagine in order to travel to school by bus truly is an inspiration to many. A “never give up” attitude is all that is required to achieve what you want to.

This is when, little Ian Unger’s enormous efforts and crisp business skills caught the eye of a stranger named Teresa Funk and she took to social media to make this little businessman famous. As a result, not only was he able to turn up the sales but also a massively successful fundraiser was set up. In a matter of 10 months, Ian Unger will be able to go to school with his well-trained service dog.
