Dementia changes everything - memories fade, moments are lost, and love is tested in ways we never expect. For Margaret and Bob, their loyal dog Darkie became their light through the darkness, bringing comfort, laughter, and unconditional love.

When life grew harder and the couple faced being separated from Darkie, their story touched hearts across the nation. Strangers came together to help them stay side by side, proving that kindness and compassion can move mountains.

Darkie's Gift is a true story of love, loyalty, and hope - a beautiful reminder that even in life's most difficult moments, love always finds a way.
