For veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), gaining a new companion in the form of a service dog can be the bridge to a better life.
K9 Partners for Patriots provides just that. The Brooksville nonprofit organization aims to eliminate veteran suicide through teaching active and former military vets diagnosed with service-related PTSD, a traumatic brain injury (TBI) or military sexual trauma (MST) how to train their own service dogs. Before the six-month program officially begins, pups choose their veterans.
