I know, my dog has PTSD from watching me sit on the couch for years.
Anybody going to email them and recommend CBT and graded excercise therapy for dogs?
they get retired from service at a rate much higher than humans!

Just like their human counterparts, dogs in the military can suffer the symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder and theyre doing so at a rate nearly as high as humans.
Of the dogs who show symptoms, about half are likely to be prematurely retired from service, said Walter F. Burghardt Jr., chief of behavioral medicine at the Daniel E. Holland Military Working Dog Hospital at Lackland Air Force Base.
