"Dillon once trained dogs in the military to go into combat. Now he trains dogs for veterans post combat."

This is just wonderful! Thank you for letting us know

@butterfly123 Thank you for appreciating this event and thinking enough of veterans to share it here. There have been so many empty platitudes expressed, with no heart, certanly no follow through of late. Today's veterans have given their all, voluntarily, because we are committed to our country and communities and yet--- veterans continue to constitute 30% of the homeless.

Service Dogs are life preservers for veterans. Sometimes the only kindness experienced throughtout the day, or weeks , is from the military service dog. The only being unafraid, unashamed, unflinchingly steadfast in the veteran's life is their dog. No one else can be trusted to lay down their very lives if necessary , to preserve yours.

Truly qualified trainers are few. When you can find one in civilian life, they are often prohibitively expensive. Fortunately, an officer's discipline can suffice when necessary, every veteran knows what command is, but a bonafide dog whisperer is irreplacable.
