6 Touching 2 Lives at Once Soldier s Best Friend provides U.S. military veterans living with combat-related Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) with Service or Therapeutic Companion Dogs, most of which are rescued from local shelters. The veteran and dog train together to build a trusting relationship that saves two lives at once and inspires countless others.
7 It s hard to describe the sheer terror, horror and boredom of war to someone that has never experienced it. Your brain produces chemicals to keep your body and mind at a high state of vigilance in the presence of danger and death. My brain spent an entire year re-wiring itself to cope with lifethreatening situations while serving in combat and unfortunately, there is no off switch. It is no small wonder that veterans return with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Dave & Service Dog Caleb August 2015 Graduates It was no more than a 26 hour flight; that was my transition from being in a combat zone to being back with my family. Phillip & Service Dog Samson June 2017 Graduates

18 Frequently Asked Questions: What is a service dog? A service dog is one that has been trained to perform tasks for an individual with a disability. Task(s) must be directly related to the person's disability. All SBF service dogs are trained to perform a minimum of three tasks. Examples of PTSD and TBI Service Dog tasks. Provide gentle physical space between veteran and other people so they can comfortably interact. Alert the veteran to an approaching person. Turn on the lights after a nightmare or before entering a room. Medication reminder Brace/Balance Source: ada.gov
19 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Under ADA, two questions can be asked to determine if a dog is a service animal? Is the dog a service animal required because of a disability? What work or task has the dog been trained to perform? Which Public Accommodations Must Allow Service Animals? Service animal law applies broadly to any place of business, office, or place of recreation to which the general public is invited, whether it is run by a public or private entity. Examples: Public Transportation, Restaurants, Schools, Hotels, Parks, Etc. Source: ada.gov
20 Tips to remember when you encounter a Service Dog team When approaching a service dog team, speak to the handler first. Ask handler s permission before petting a service dog. Please do not feed or offer treats to a service dog. If you have a dog with you, only approach the service dog with the handler s consent. Avoid asking personal questions about the handler s disability.
