Tell us how your dog is helping you continue Still Serving in your community.

He is my service dog. He senses when my ptsd and anxiety levels are high and helps to calm me so I don’t lose my marbles. 7 times I’ve almost become one of the 22 a day and thanks to him coming in my life it hasn’t happened. I also have a female Doberman. My little dog is named Dave. He rides with me on the motorcycle which is also a service vehicle for me. Nothing like the therapy of the wind in your face on a back highway in South Dakota. He is also a lover of all people and loves to make them smile. He will pick and choose who he sits on at events. Most of the time it’s a single person who seems a bit in the dumps. He’s awesome and a true family member. He understands every word we say and listens well. I am honored to be his pet.

Why do you do it?

Honor courage. Commitment. I have an oath that never expires and through dj-ing and music and what I do in the Motorcycle world I MAKE a difference.
