Ms Syversten has Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. The syndrome is a degenerative condition which means even when Ms Syversten makes the slightest of movements, her joints can dislocate leaving her struggling and in pain.
She met Griffin through the charity Canine Partners, who match assistance dogs with disabled owners to make their lives easier.
'I really do not know what I'd do without him; he's changed my life completely.'
