Boni, the Warrior Dog

     I met an interesting gentleman, Eric, this morning.  He and his wife adopted a warrior-dog.  He had a fascinating story to tell about the adoption, and about all the things Boni accomplished during her military service.  Her handler spent a fortune of his own money to bring her back to the states when she developed PTSD.
     We ended up talking for a long time.  I told him about Freedom Service Dogs and how many of the dogs are trained to become service dogs for soldiers with PTSD. He was interested and I think he and his wife may become volunteers.
     He is a Viet Nam Vet.  We talked about my being an Army Nurse at Walter Reed during that time, and about how crazy the military can be.
     It is a small world.  The conversation took place just because Eric stopped to ask me for directions.  (Some guys evidently do ask for directions.)


     Here is the link to a news video about their adoption of Boni.
