Service dogs are a wonderful asset to the lives of people they help. I am glad you have a "little" service dog to help you with your PTSD. I think this would make a great public interest story for your local media. It would be a great way to educate the community and help get the word out that service dogs are not just big dogs.
Hang in there. |
I'm sure this would be a story of interest for the media and it has crossed my mind. BUT I want to bring attention to the issue without so much as bringing attention to myself. I'm worried about the stress with my ptsd. So I'm still figuring out what I am going to do.
On a side note. (My ptsd is not service related) I just wanted to clarify that. I didn't go into detail last night cause I was so stressed out. It happens to be a coincidence that I am a veteran w/ it.
