MobilityDog Newsletter November 18, 2025: Natalie & Roxy

“Roxy became my service dog when I started graduate school, and I am so thankful to MobilityDog for pairing us together,” Natalie shares. “Not only did we bond immediately, but Roxy has allowed me to achieve a level of independence that I previously thought was not possible. Before having a service dog, I never left the house without another person. Now, Roxy and I run errands together, go shopping, and take public transportation, just the two of us. Thank you to MobilityDog for introducing me to my best friend and partner-in-crime!” - Natalie 

When Natalie Fung was 21, her life took a dramatic turn, when she was injured in a car accident that was caused by a drunk driver. She was left paralyzed. She not only had to navigate a new world physically, but emotionally as well, redefining independence, ambition, and what it meant to move through life on her own terms. 

Today, she is a proud graduate of USC, with a master’s degree in Communication Data Science. Natalie is an advocate for accessibility and a powerful voice in the disability community. But alongside her academic and professional achievements is a more personal transformation, one that began the day she was paired with her MobilityDog service dog, Roxy. 

We’re honored to spotlight Natalie and Roxy, a true testament to the transformative power of service dogs and the community that makes these life changing partnerships possible. 

We are committed to advancing functional independence for people with disabilities through service dogs, empowerment, and education.
