Before Phoebe came into Jazz Turner’s life she needed someone to be with her 24/7. But when the 25-year-old first met the Golden Retriever, the dog transformed her life. That’s because Jazz has a life-limiting progressive condition called hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, which causes her joints to dislocate. This is because her body can’t produce collagen.
