I have been waiting for almost two years for a service dog to help with my PTSD/TBI. I am looking for opinions of those who own a service dog to see if it truely helps.

I have a service dog. I live in Indiana and the Humane Society of Hamilton County provided him to me through the Pets Healing Vets program. They neutered him, and had him trained specifically for my needs. I'm unsure where u live but there's gotta be a program like this in every state. If not, that's a shame.

My service dog, Ranger, helps a great deal. I once had my 1911 .45 in my mouth and finger on the trigger. He nosed the door over and over again trying to break into the room

Yes, I have a dog, and having my dog combined with what my dog does for me, changed my life. I I was so positively affected, that I went to school to become a certified dog trainer. I have started a business training dogs for veterans, and disabled people.

I have two dogs that are not registered service dogs but the help keep me calm and grounded when I become overwhelmed with intrusive memories and I have been looking into registering one of them as a service dog so she can provide the same support while im traveling or out running errands and have potential triggers around me

My dog, BlackJack, is my ESA, without him I find very little purpose left in life. Living just to to go to work and come home, for me, is not a purpose.

Every day day I come up with a list why I shouldn't be going on to Fiddlers Green. Every day the list gets shorter.

Without my "Doctor Doggy", I would have given up by now. He keeps me alive.
