As you go through your life, suffer loss, trauma, and are a dog lover, you know that your world is made bearable by the love of your dog (or other pet companion). Service dogs are heroes to those that have them, and I am so happy to see they are being used for ptsd. I have a friend who suffers from it; he spent three tours in Iraq and has come home a different man. Coming from a family with many pets all the time, he adopted sibling Great Pyrenees when he came home who keep him "well". One of them wakes him from his night terrors and lies against him at night. No one trained him. He just "knows".
Good dogs doing good.
Well done!
