Eden Byrne said her physical and mental health was affected by her Long Covid diagnosis in March 2022

A Belfast woman has opened up on how her assistance dog has helped support her during her Long Covid diagnosis.

Eden said: "My brother has autism and she was trying to release him but actually, she took a shining for me, especially during the last two years. I was diagnosed with long COVID in March 2022 and this has had a significant impact on my mental health and also physical health. "When I’m lying down and really tired on the sofa, she comes over immediately to check that I’m okay and due to my condition, I’ve been waking up really early in the mornings. She always keeps me company and provides me with that reassurance and support in the morning when I feel like I’m really alone and things are really really difficult for me.”
