Celebrating dogs making a difference.

We are so impressed with the difference dogs can make in the lives of so many people, especially assistance and therapy dogs. Dogs have been shown to lower blood pressure and stress levels. They can provide both emotional and physical assistance.

They can help children with autism, like Max and Chester and Keats and Braydon.

 

This week we would like to feature beautiful NSD Flicker who is one of the first graduates of the National Service Dogs pioneer program for PTSD.

NSD Flicka has been a huge assistance for her partner in reducing stress and grounding him when necessary.

Happy Thankful Thursday!
