A small but generous group known as Operation Wolfhound is providing service dogs to Veterans suffering from PTSD. According to the US Army website, the group was started in 2008 and has donated seven Borzoi service dogs so far. Borzois make good service dogs because they are very intelligent, sympathetic and not agressive.
The benefits of these partnerships is great. Assistance partner dogs provide veterans suffering from PTSD and other disorders with comfort and companionship - something medication is unable to provide.
For now, Operation Wolfhound relies on donated time from over 100 volunteers to run their program and does not currently accept donations. To read more, visit http://www.lundr.com, or find them on Facebook by searching "Operation Wolfhound".
