Abstract
Service dogs have been seen to provide emotional wellness, healing, and other benefits to many veterans. Studies have shown veterans suffer from disabilities almost always once returning from war and returning to civilian life. Many show signs of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) from assaults and wars experienced while in service. The negative impacts veterans encountered allow them to qualify for service dogs for emotional, mental, physical and psychological support while interacting, and coping with their lives after and in the military.
