Can Service Dogs Make Life Easier for Veterans With PTSD?

A bill with bipartisan support would make it easier for veterans to get trained service dogs.

โ€œThe SAVES Act will ultimately put more service dogs in the hands of Veterans with visible and invisible disabilities, allowing them to regain their independence and reintegrate into civilian life."

I often wonder why some of the homeless dogs in shelters can't be trained for these sorts of 'services', I'm sure many of these dogs and humans lives would be transformed through their mutual trust & loyalty to each other, dogs are at there most confident/happiest when giving support to another..๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ™

Depends on the definition of 'service dog'...

Is this term only applied to those dogs who have actually been trained, or also to untrained dogs, with vests on that say, 'service dog'...

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness, bitter for sweet

They have to be certified by the VA for veterans with PTSD. No normal service dog has the specific training for a veteran service dog or so I was told.
