I worked, slept, went on missions and was under fire several times- but I am not a VET- I am a DA civilian. When I returned I found that medication helped but only so far. I purchased a "PTSD Service Dog". Since I got Leila (Service Dog)- I am begining to feel like I have my independence and my life back. During the weekends and eveinging Leila are never apart. I have requested permission from my employer US Army Coprs of Engineers for permission to have Leila be with at work. I am hoping that with your article on "Service Dogs" my dog will be allowed to be with me. Thank you VERY MUCH I returned from my third tour in Iraq with PTSD.

Dogs have always had a place in the military. This would be yet one more good use and would serve to keep trained and dedicated people in the military in a productive capacity. This sounds like a win win idea. I think this is great. Dogs have always had a place in the military.
