Assistance Dogs Veterans

It  is a little late for the actual Veterans Day post BUT I think this is wonderful and it just goes to show HOW special us dogs can be and how much we can do for our peeps.   Mom saw this on    http://dogblog.dogster.com/2011/11/11/veterans-day-special-assistance-dog-gives-vet-back-his-life/#more-42788  
and asked my opinion.  I agreed and here it is. 

Navy Master at Arms 1st Class Orlando Rivera and Sweet Pea, who has helped him regain his life

These are a couple of the Vets included in the article.  How great is it that they have received a furiend like us to help them!!!   Our D is a veteran but wasn't hurt in a war - he had a MAJOR stroke a bunch a years back and we hear stories of how great the Siberians (Niki  and Bo)M & D had who helped him during the really bad times.  Now we are here and give him lots of love and keep him on his toes - so to bark.  Someday M says she would like to do a post on them.  Dad made up a scrapbook of pictures of them for Mom's birthday a FEW years back.  She hasn't been able to find it lately.  She has a couple of pics of them but the best ones were in the scrapbook.  She says she will keep looking....

Shawn Mello and his dog, Harpo, were also brought together by Paws for Patriots.
