The Story of Iyal and his Service Dog
When the Winokur family brought home two seemingly healthy infants from Russia in 1999, they could not have foreseen the journey in store for them. Their son, Iyal, was eventually diagnosed with fetal alcohol syndrome, (FAS) the most severe form of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs). Iyal found comfort, support and a much-needed ally in an unlikely package—a fluffy, 80 pound golden retriever and expertly trained certified service dog named Chancer.
