My late wife was grand mal epileptic. Her little dog (a Pomeranian) never had training but knew when she was about to have a seizure and let me know about it. Before she hit the floor I’d catch her and pad her head, arms and legs with cushions. If she had one when I wasn’t home he’d let me know when I came home by running to me with a look of concern, run to her and back to me. He wouldn’t settle down until I checked her out.

Well Done to Kenny Bass and the Battle Buddy Foundation! The service dog is a great idea to help vets with PTSD and TBI. In this painful decade long fight in Iraq and Afghanistan, we've come to understand more about the damage combat works on the psyche. We've developed different ways to alleviate the suffering besides drugs. Thank the Lord there are vets like Kenny and his organization that can match-up vets with service dogs that can help them with their problems. Shame on the VA for their mind numbing stupidity.

Gosh, how did those WWII and Korea vets do it? I mean just getting back home after the duration of the conflict not 6 or 12 months like today and just rolling up their sleeves and getting back to work building America. Never heard my Father or Uncle ever complain.

Here’s another organization that matches dogs with veterans.

Beau was a dog saved by German Shepherd Rescue of Orange County, then offered to and accepted by Rebuilding Warriors.
