Rags and Shadow were both trained Therapy dogs, as was Tippy before them. They went with me to Childrens Hospitals and Nursing Homes, especially this time of year, but monthly at least.
Through the VA I'm currently training with my Lab to certify her as my service animal AND ESA for my siezures and PTSD. It's irritating that I now need one, but it is what it is. My Border Collie is a bit too hypeer yet, but I look forward to training her to visit hospitals ect. in the future. I miss doing that for folks.

It's cool that you were helping people that needed it; one would be surprised just how much therapy having a dog around can be,.. really, your a good person for doing that [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile.png[/img]/emoticons/[email protected] 2x" title=":)" width="20" />
Sorry to hear you have seizures, epilepsy runs in my family, I was lucky not to get it, wouldn't say I'm all that lucky now though... I'm fighting cancer, probably don't have much longer to live, but I'm trying to keep positive..
Anyway I know several people with PTSD and know it's hard to live with, i have panic attacks myself but that's from social anxiety and stress, I have found that my dog brings me out of them any time it happens, he will cuddle up to me, or put his paw on me to try and get my attention.. just don't always have him around is the problem..
