It’s a bird…it’s a plane…it’s KRYPTON! THE SUPERDOG!

Krypton, the Superdog!

In our very dog-friendly office, we have a superhero among our canine regulars – it’s Krypton! Our head designer Pat Landskron has diabetes, and needs to pay very close attention to her health. Pat is a very talented designer who creates whimsical and unique clothing – and needs to always be healthy and happy to maintain her unique perspective. Pat has created many designs through the years that were inspired by her kitty cats, but now we have the best puppy groups! (Just wait until you see the new collection!) Pat’s inspiration is fueled by her assistance dog, Krypton. Most people are unaware that dogs can be trained to help people with diabetes monitor their sugar level – it is really amazing!

Krypton will ‘alert’ Pat, first by sitting in front of her and staring – and then if she doesn’t respond, will start nudging her hand. This tells Pat that her blood

Uniformed and ready to go!

sugar is falling too quickly (or going up too quickly.) Krypton gives Pat an additional degree of confidence – helping her maintain her health at the highest level possible. Krypton also is a wonderful, loving companion for Pat – and I believe that unconditional love is a great inspiration! All of us at the office love having Krypton around – he shares his love with our entire staff, adding a bit of calm to hectic days. Thank you Krypton!

There are many people in the world with diabetes – unfortunately many are children. If you are interested in learning more about these amazing dogs, or to donate to this wonderful organization please follow this link  to Dogs4Diabetics: Providing Medical Alert Assistance Dogs to Type 1 Diabetics .
