Capstone 2012
I am constantly amazed at the benefits we humans receive from our canine companions, the irreplaceable dog!! For thousands of years these animals have contributed to our well-being with acts of service, bravery, and comfort.
I am even more grateful and proud for the tremendous protection our Armed Services provide for us to continue with life as we know it here in America,
Isn't it fitting and so very satisfying to see both groups united in a program that brings meaning and restoration to both parties?
That's what my Senior Capstone is all about....Veterans suffering from the ravages of War, exhibiting symptoms of PTSD (Post-Traumatice Stress Disorder) who are paired up with a dog (sometimes a RESCUE dog) and together, with appropriate training, they become a team where are both are mutually blessed.
Although dogs can't speak to the contrary....it sure seems to me that we humans get the far better end of the deal.
