Gander the Hero Dog
For those that might not be aware, there is an event that celebrates service dogs through an award ceremony called the Hero Dog Awards. In 2016, the American Humane Association awarded this honor to an amazing dog by the name of Gander who aids Lon Hodge, an army veteran with complex PTSD.
Part of Gander's service is to help Lon cope with his symptoms, but Gander does more than that. As part of Lon's continued effort to help those in need, he takes Gander around the United States, giving people in need a moment of joy. This video is enough to bring a grown man to tears. There's something truly moving about a service dog helping children in need. Keep up the honorable work, Gander!
