Photographer Maddie Peschong of Mad Photo and Design captured a heartwarming interaction between the bride and Bella, a service dog. In the photo, which was posted on Reddit, Bella (wearing a tutu) is alerting Valerie that her heart rate is elevated and is attempting to distract her in order to calm her down, Peschong explained in an email to Mashable. Bella also helps Valerie with migraines, panic attacks and anxiety.
