US Army SSG Christopher served in Iraq in the Military Police. He conducted a multitude of missions and was severely injured by shrapnel in Samarra during a firefight when an RPG hit the door of his Humvee. Chris has mobility issues and vertigo from a traumatic brain injury (TBI) as well as anxiety and depression from PTSD.
During the two week training for Patriot PAWS Service Dogs’ Spring 2017 Graduation, service dog, Papi, found his veteran. He picked Chris, and the team makes a dynamic duo.
“With Papi, I don’t have to watch my back as much anymore because he now has it. Papi doesn’t sleep much at night… he watches me and makes sure I wake up out of my nightmares. When he helps me get up in the morning, I am already much happier and in a better mood. I am not so bitter anymore. Thank you just isn’t enough.”
Chris, Papi and his family are thriving and growing even stronger together.
Items like the Desert Camo Bead Bracelet in the iHeartDogs store benefit Pets For Vets, which places shelter dogs and service dogs with veterans in need.
