Where did you serve and what did you do?

OEF 10-11, Military Police Company Executive Officer

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

My service dog Thor helps me manage my PTSD symptoms and continue to give back. He gave me the courage and inspiration to write a book about him and life lessons I have learned from him. The book is called “Lessons from Thor: Healing with a Service Dog’s Touch.” I start with my story from struggle to finding strength. I then transition to chapters where I take a fun story about Thor and apply it to a life lesson the reader can apply. I end every chapter with thought/journal questions that people are really enjoying.

Why do you do it?

I want to help people feel a little better and make sure they know there is an amazing life after PTSD treatment. I don’t want anyone to ever struggle alone. We’re in this together.
