And so our bill, the PAWS Act, takes these veterans, particularly the ones that have severe Post-Traumatic Stress, and authorizes a small amount of funding so that the VA can pair them with specially trained service dogs.
A remarkable progress has been made by the VA to meet this challenge, but there is much more that still has to be done.
