Joe Flores, a Competition Management Volunteer in Dallas, relies on his service dog Kiki to manage serious health and mobility challenges. Kiki is trained to detect changes in Joe's heart rate and to alert him during sleep apnoea episodes, allowing him to volunteer safely. Argentina defender Nicolás Tagliafico met Kiki following his side’s pre-match press conference on 26 June, later sharing a photo of her on social media.
