We always ask guests of Fuzzybutts & Friends who they'd like to hear on the show and today's episode was the pick of Old Earl of Frunk Puppy fame. And it's a great one because it combines several important themes: PTSD and the power of puppies to heal humans as well as helping out veterans who were charged with protecting our great country.
Lindsey Kay founded Paws and Stripes for those two purposes and for over 12 years has been training shelter dogs for for therapy, specifically for veterans suffering from either or both Post Traumatic Brain Disorder (PTSD) or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Unlike other organizations, Lindsey partners with local shelters to train therapy dogs who are also looking for a good home.
We also met Milo, a recent success story of Paws and Stripes, and talked about their partnership with mental health organizations as well. Its a positive, patriotic episode this week on Fuzzybutts & Friends!
