This is how Gunner helped bring joy back into my life and why getting him as a service animal was one of the best decisions ever made.
Thanks to Canines For Heroes, November 2022 with a personal service dog was one of the best decisions in my life. Having Gunner accompany me throughout life has not only been a great companion but has also given me tremendous relief from my PTSD and PTSD-related problematic sleeping patterns. With his help, I went from suffering 2 or 3 attacks a month to just 1 every 3 or 4 months and no longer blackout. His leash walking, basic obedience, long stays, and automatic sit-and-stay are impressive, giving me even more confidence in him as my service dog and companion. Having him around has truly made all the difference, providing true joy and emotional support I couldn’t have received anywhere else. The bond between us is unique and special; I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Through thick or thin we have stayed together creating an everlasting friendship that will continue to blossom while providing relief from PTSD to make everyday life just a little bit better.
