TOMBSTONE , Ariz. — According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, 7 in every 100 veterans will have PTSD, which is why a Sierra Vista nonprofit is helping veterans and first responders with service dogs and companion dogs.
Michael Lomuscio, a veteran with PTSD, got his service dog Wall-E from Bryant three weeks ago. He said he's tried different therapy programs to help him with his diagnosis but they haven't worked. He decided to get a service dog to help him feel safe leaving his house. “There are so many dogs that are thrown away in our local shelters that are really great dogs," Bryant said."They just need training, and by doing that, we're saving two lives at one time.”
