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.
