I really want to get a dog, but I see how their passing affects people, and not sure I want to go through that. Is it worth it?

@KunsanVeteran Really? I like that.

@Bumbles Absolutely! You gave them life! And joy. And peace. And security. Of course they realize that and appreciate it.

@Bumbles Yes, really! They bring so much love into the relationship! Working with veterans with severe PTSD, one of the first things we do is encourage them to get a rescue puppy!

@KunsanVeteran Does it help their PTSD do you think?

@Bumbles There is no question! In fact, I am training my two RotLabs as therapy dogs for our local VA hospital.

@Bumbles I can tell you that puppies can do more than trained professionals in many cases to salvage lives that have been devastated by horrible tragedies. But get a breed that fits your lifestyle. For example, my lab (I love her) is very ADHD, my little one is very naughty, my Black Mouth Cur is my body guard, but my two RotLabs are so incredibly sensitive and loving.
