Nekhbet Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 The Young Diggers K9 program is supported by my business and Steve Austin in NSW is the driving force. A really great program, anyone with PTSD and other trauma based conditions really appreciates what help dogs truely are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
