War Veterans Service Dogs

Dogs are often therapeutic and helpful in the rehabilitation of war veterans.

Lobo helps Jeff Wilson keep cool in public places. Wilson doesn’t like being startled, so with a simple “watch my back” command, the border collie-German shepherd mix watches Wilson’s 6 o’clock and gives him a little nudge if anyone walks up behind him at the grocery story or other public setting. If Wilson’s anxiety kicks in, Lobo will jump and put his paws on Wilson’s chest to give him something else to focus on. Photo Credit: CNN
