This is awesome! Thank you for sharing. These service dogs for veterans are close to my heart. It's just so amazing the help they bring for those suffering with PTSD, etc.

Working dogs are a special interest for me - especially the wonderful service dogs who are helping our veterans reclaim their lives. This is a wonderful match.  What a good boy!  Thanks for sharing Ginny.

Thanks for sharing this story, Ginny.  Gander has amazing eyes. Very soulful.  And I really like what his human said.

"People ask me all the time, you don't look like you need a dog, and I say, it's because I have a dog," Hodge said. I think many of us can relate to that sentiment one way or another!

What a wonderful Happy Tale for Hodge and Gander.  Thanks so much for sharing, Ginny.
