Thanks for your reply. I believe you. While the video is kinda fuzzy...I thought Sarge looked like he was dreaming [nightmare from her ordeal]...with the eye movements and twitching leg/paw.
I think this is a general email addy: VeteranDogs*at*pawsandstripes.org
The breathing was too fast and erratic for my comfort.
There seemed to more distress/emphasis on the exhale than the inhale which never a good sign.
If I saw one of my dogs breathing like that, I’d be freaking out and on the way to the vet.
As far as the guy himself goes, I have *multiple* PTSD from different event and in person, you might not like me so much if some ‘trigger’ occurred while you were standing there.
I’m not “me” until the episode passes.
FWIW, knowing how draconian the TSA is nowadays, I’m not even sure if I could’ve reacted ‘normally’ and beat the hell out of whoever kicked my dog.
[which, thankfully, is a moot point since Odin would be perfectly capable of dealing swift retaliation, himself]
PTSD comes in many ‘flavors’ and there’s no one on earth who can say exactly how it’s going to manifest at any given time or for any given situation.
[it does, however, consistently, seriously -suck-]
I posted to the YouTube channel.
Hopefully, somebody will get the dog checked over soon if it hasn’t already been done.
