When war veteran Danny came home from Desert Storm, he had developed severe PTSD. For over a year, Danny lived in fear, unable to leave his house or sometimes even bedroom. But with the help of Morgan’s Dogs in downtown Chicago, Danny began an alternative treatment for his disorder. He was given service dog Ezra, a sweetheart from a nearby high kill shelter. Similar to Danny, Ezra had been a trauma and abuse victim before becoming a service dog. Now the two provide each other with tremendous comfort and stability. With Ezra by his side, Danny now feels that he can go anywhere and interact with anyone. In return, Danny promises that Ezra never fears neglect or even death again. This is a glimpse into their unique story.

The organization that helped Danny and other is War Dogs:  http://wardogsmakingithome.org/donations/
