Dogs not only act as man’s best friends but also achieve great results acting as therapists and helping people who have gone through all kinds of traumatic experiences recover faster. War veterans often suffer from post-traumatic stress and dogs can offer great support in this area and help them whenever they experience panic attacks. Also, veterans might find it hard to express themselves and talk to another human being about the horrifying things they saw on the battlefield but tend to accept the support offered by a service dog. Combat veteran Erick Scott and his service dog named Gumbo are the perfect example of why this type of relationship works.
