Today is #NationalPTSDAwarenessDay. 💚 A story like Jesse's is a reminder that the power of a #servicedog is invaluable to a veteran - and we need to continue to empower those who served our country. 💪 "Returning from deployment, especially combat, can be deeply transformative. It wasn’t until I was paired with my service dog, Myrtle, through Canine Companions that I realized the extent of the challenges I was facing. Myrtle has been a true blessing, providing daily support and companionship, and helping me regain a positive outlook on life.” – Jesse with Service Dog Myrtle At Canine Companions, we serve our military veterans by providing #servicedogs at no cost so they can lead their lives with greater independence. You can help veterans, children and adults live with more independence and confidence they deserve. 🐕‍🦺 Link in bio to help, or visit: canine.org/independence26. . . . . #LeadWithIndependence #ptsdawareness #PTSD #makingadifference #military #veteran #veterans ...
