Dr. Mike Moore of Southside Animal Hospital has a personal mission to help war heroes and their service animals. One of the people that Dr. Moore helped was Niroby Wilson. Wilson served the US. In 2004, he suffered from a serious injury that almost led to paralysis. But he also needed additional help since his 12-year-old service dog Kimbo also required surgery.

Dr. Moore introduced Wilson to the Hank’s & Eli’s Fund which he created back in 2012. “If anything, I would tell Doc and them that I love him, because they saved my baby,” said Wilson.

When the pandemic happened, many government buildings were closed. Forsyth County Animal Shelter, for example. However, the shelter has started to follow a new adoption method where a “matchmaking” will be done between a person and an animal.

Cindy Lacopella, the shelter’s manager, said that this new process reduces the chances of spreading the virus between employees. Also, the adoption is now more personalized since an animal’s personality will be matched with the adopters.

Compassionate Paws and Pet Partners have been bringing smiles to people since 2007. They bring animals (such as cats and dogs) to schools, hospitals, and nursing homes. But because of COVID restrictions, their activities have been canceled.

Jan Greene of Compassionate Paws said that she’s upset that they can no longer serve the community like they used to. But the good news is, they’ve found a temporary solution: Take stuffed animals instead! Even Greene’s daughter wanted to help out by donating some of her stuffed animals.

On July 14, they were able to pay the residents a visit. The residents were appreciative of the effort and chose what stuffed animal they liked.

Did you know that the US has “swimming soldiers” that are as trained as the Navy SEALS? While we have service dogs on land, we also have heroes that live underwater. These are sea lions and bottlenose dolphins.

The Navy’s Marine Mammal Program makes use of these mammals to perform underwater missions like naval mine detection, harbor patrol, and rescues. Both species have the ability to track targets even in dark waters — without the risk of decompression sickness.

Service dogs assist people in many ways depending on what they’re trained to do. When it comes to veterans, can you guess what their most important task is? The answer is disrupting anxiety. A lot of veterans live with PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder), a mental health problem that people develop after experiencing traumatic events.

Kerri Rodriguez, Ph.D, says that service dogs that are trained to assist with PTSD can wake a veteran from nightmares, alert him to anxiety, and be a reliable companion in crowds. She adds, “It’s not uncommon to hear veterans talk about how they wouldn’t be alive if it wasn’t for their service dog, or how their service dog has allowed them to become a husband and father again.”
