Press release from VetCard Campaign:
Attention all dog lovers and supporters of US veterans! United States Army Sergeant Chloe Wells of the Combat Canines: The Doc Foundation project in Fayetteville, NC will speakat at Charles T. Koontz Intermediate School March 24th to speak to students about her incredible work with retired military service dogs.
Sgt. Wells and her colleagues work to secure good homes and medical services for these dogs, some of whom suffer with a form of animal PTSD. Over the years military service dogs have saved the lives and limbs of countless soldiers throughout the world, often giving up their own in the process. The “Combat Canines” initiative is an important way to care for and honor these battlefield heroes. Sgt. Wells has been featured on the cover of “Guideposts” magazine among other publications.
I just finished reading “A Different Kind of Hero” in the current issue of All Creatures Magazine. I have a master’s degree in counseling, have been certified in animal assisted therapy (not current), and have the deepest respect for the work that both military and law enforcement K-9’s do. Please know that you have my deepest respect, love, thanks, and prayers for the healing care that you provide for those who are so deserving of it – both human and canine. God bless you.
