Suki got the zoomies

A number of athletes at the Milano-Cortina 2026 Winter Paralympics have their service/guide dogs travelling with them. One of these is Dave Miln from Australia. In 2022, while in a ski trip to northern California, he was carrying his on-year-old daughter and guiding his three-year-old when they encountered a large snow removal machine. He slipped and turned his body towards the blades to protect his daughters. The eldest received broken legs and pelvis and Miln had spinal fractures along with other injuries. He eventually had his left leg amputated above the knee and his right below the knee. The family of four all suffer from post traumatic stress disorder and their service dog Suki is an integral part of helping them negotiate their day-to-day lives. Suki, a golden labrador, escaped from a cabin while Dave was competing and went up on the snow. When people tried to catch her, she ad an attack for of the zoomies. Good for Suki.
