Harlow has been training to become a fully-fledged medical alert and service dog for Blake, who tells ABC News that her chronic illnesses frequently cause her pain, dizziness, nausea and weakness.

"When I'm having a dizzy spell or pain flare, it's really helpful that Harlow can grab things or put things away for me," she said.

Blake added that she often has fainting spells and that Harlow can even tell when a severe episode could happen.

Blake has been documenting Harlow's training progress on social media, where videos of her tricks have earned her a few thousand fans. The pup now has over 73,000 followers on Instagram and more than 1,200 subscribers on YouTube.

She says she's just glad to have Harlow, who "always has her back" and "who has been such a good friend to me."
