Helping Hands on Animal Planet

Helping Hands recipient Travis and his service monkey, Siggy were featured on Animal Planet’s Canadian documentary series Collar of Duty.

The original 12-part series, recently released for limited viewing within the U.S., focuses on the lives of those transformed by a therapeutic or service animal. These amazing true stories—a poodle assisting with a boy’s epileptic seizures, a war veteran finding solace in his rescue parrots, a miniature horse that can detect low blood sugar, just to name a few—all center around the priceless human-animal bond.

Season 2, Episode 10 “Paighton & Portia/Travis & Siggy.” Travis and Siggy’s story begins at 10:26.
