“How did the men who stormed the beaches at Normandy get by without service dogs and a lifetime monthly check for PTSD?”
Actually it was WWII blinded veterans who were the first candidates to receive seeing eye dogs. They went to an institute in Morristown, N. J. and were matched with a dog after a mutual training period. It takes a special kind of dog to be a seeing eye dog. There has to be complete trust between the dog and the vet. As for monthly checks, vets have always rec’d compensation for debilitating injuries. Do you begrudge it?
