A couple of years ago my DH felt he had no reason to live.  I had gone with him to talk to his therapist because I was so worried about him.  He brought up that he had always wanted a boxer.  As soon as I could find one, we got her.  Her name is Midget and she has been wonderful for my husband.  I wish my DH would train her as a PTSD dog (his doctor is on board) since he almost never leaves the house.  I have gotten her through basic and advanced training and hope to get her through to the AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate.  I highly recommend a dog to anyone with PTSD.  I believe Midget saved my DH's life.
