Dog helps girl go to school

When you think peanuts, what dog comes to mind?

A beagle like Snoopy?

How about a Portuguese water dog like Rock'O.

The trained pooch allows 8-year-old Riley Mers to go to school and have some semblance of a normal life.

Mers has an allergy to peanuts so severe that even touching one can send her to the hospital. Rock'O sniffs out the offending substance and alerts her to its presence.

Here's the story and video from ABC News's Neal Karlinsky.
