How do service animals support people with invisible disabilities? Kelly MacDonald follows the work of non-profit organization Veterans and Everyday Heroes (V-EH!) to learn about the benefits of service animal intervention on frontline workers' lives. Captain Andrew Gough, a medically retired Police Sergeant, shares his personal journey leading to creating the organization, matching service dogs with handlers in need without the massive cost associated with the pairing. We also hear from board members Kimberly Biback and Lisa Mason on the ins and outs of running V-EH! Dawn LeFevre and Ryan Horwood give us their testimonials on the life-saving effects of working with service animals after dealing with frontline work trauma. Bruno Matos, Lead Trainer and Founder of Searchlight Service Dogs, tells us about the schooling process to get these service dogs trained and ready to work.
