Therapy Dogs / Service Dogs

Just want to give a shout out to the people out there that work with their pets for Therapy and Service.   There has been a lot of talk out there about animals (dogs mostly) helping veterans/soldiers returning from overseas with PTSD.  Pet Therapy is near and dear to my heart, because my big girl Abbie (the Saint Bernard) is going through training to become a therapy dog.  I have friends that are either in need of a service dog or already have a service dog.  The power that these precious animals hold is most amazing and they have absolutely no clue they hold this power.  No do they abuse it.  No matter what they are always there to greet you happily, all the more reason they make the most perfect companion in life and therapy.

I have attached a link on an article about how animals are helping soldiers with PTSD.
