fungles Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Saw a promo for this the other night, and I thought it might be of interest... Puppy LoveWhen soldiers return home from war zones like Iraq, it’s not just the physical scars that take time to heal. Many are traumatised and suffer Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. It can ruin their lives, and those of their families, but in the United States, help is coming from an unlikely source… man’s best friend. Video journalist Aaron Lewis has been to meet some of the people being helped back to a normal life by East Coast Assistance Dogs, whose animals provide not only physical help, but also an important emotional bond. The scheme’s success has even led to the US Congress funding a pilot program to provide service dogs to disabled veterans. Find out more on Dateline this Sunday at 8.30pm on SBS ONE. (Sunday’s Dateline makes way for SBS’s Tour de France coverage for viewers in WA, so watch online on Sunday evening. The program will also screen on Monday at 1.30pm and Thursday at 2.30pm on SBS ONE, and on Wednesday at 7.30pm on SBS TWO.) http://www.sbs.com.au/dateline/story/about...12/n/Puppy-Love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
