A lot of rescue dogs overcome their traumatic pasts and go on to live beautiful, healthy lives. Asher, however, is taking things to a new level by not just changing his own life but changing others as well!

According to Crufts, Claire Guest and the Medical Detection Dogs charity welcomed Asher into their lives after he went through many homes unsuccessfully.
