Dogs Help Veterans Copewith PTSD

A coworker sent me this video, and it tore at my heart. I wanted to share with you in case you missed it.

David Sharpe's adopted Pit Bull who saved his life and helped him work through his PTSD and mild depression.

As mentioned in the video, sometimes it's just easier to talk to your pet than it is another human being.

18 veterans a day commit suicide
4 million sheltered animals euthanized a year

Match some of those 4 million euthanized pets with the 6500 veterans who commit suicide a year, and it really is like match.com, except saving lives...

The dogs have physical scars on the outside, and the veterans have mental scars on the inside, which make shelter dogs and veterans the perfect match.



This video, truly tore at my heart.
