MOORESVILLE - Food Lion and the Milk-Bone brand will help change a young boy’s life by donating a specially trained service dog to Robert “Bo” Vaughn.Bo, 10, lives with his parents and siblings in Mooresville and has been diagnosed with Epilepsy. This disease makes it difficult for Bo to perform many common, everyday tasks.
Instead of Bo needing to ask someone for assistance, his new service dog will provide the help and independence he needs and deserves. Among other tasks, his dog will assist with retrieving dropped objects, opening doors, turning on and off lights, and obtaining help in case of an emergency.
“Bo presently has to sleep in our room because his seizures occur during his sleep,” explained Karen Vaughan. “We look forward to Bo having the opportunity to sleep in his own room and gain that level of independence.”
