Eddy is an adoptive little brother who brings a lot to his whole family. As for his big sister, who suffers from motion sickness and therefore anxiety in the car, he does everything to appease her. And it works!
Daisy is an elderly dog, who has always been car sick. As a result, the prospect of being jolted around in the vehicle and wanting to vomit makes her very anxious. But thanks to his new adoptive brother, Eddieall this has changed a lot.

Prior to Eddy’s arrival, Daisy was routinely vomiting in the car
Car journeys have always been hell for Daisy, and therefore also for its owners. Lying in the back seat, the dog kept getting up, lying down, getting up and going back to bed, until she ended up vomiting. The car had become a subject of anxiety and apprehension.
Eddy joined Daisy’s family a little over two years ago

His name is Eddie and changed the life of his family. “Eddy and Daisy play like siblings […] and run together in the garden“, Told Ashley at The Dodo. “They sleep next to each other and sometimes on top of each other”.
Whether Daisy and Eddie get along wonderfully, their relationship goes much further than that. Because Eddie has a very high sensitivity. He is able to sense when a member of his family, dog or human, is not doing well.

Eddy soothes Daisy during car transport
Eddie quickly noticed his sister’s discomfort in the car. When Daisy starts drooling, he reacts immediately. He turns around to face her, and rests his head on his sister’s. In this way, he not only reassures her, but he also prevents her from constantly getting up and forces her to remain calm. “We noticed that whenever they lie down together like this she doesn’t vomit and usually falls asleep.“, said Ashley.

Eddy’s sensitivity also applies to his owners
Whether Eddie does a lot of good Daisy in the car, his sensitivity also applies to his parents. “My husband and I recently found out that I was pregnant, and one of the warning signs was that Eddy was constantly resting his head on my stomach.“, for example confided Ahsley. In addition, the Labrador wakes up his mistress when she is about to have a hypoglycemia. And all this without having received any training! An extraordinary sensitivity that is good for the whole family.
