Military Veteran Shares How Her Service Dog Saved Her Life

It’s not easy for some veterans to cope with life after serving. For Mac McQueary, she faced this same problem for years since her return after serving for more than three years overseas. She said, “When you’re in the military, you always had a battle buddy. And when you got out, you didn’t have a battle buddy. And [Mary’s] my battle buddy now and it’s comforting to know that no matter what, she’s always there and I’m always there for her.”

Mac and Mary were partnered through K9s for Warriors after she was put in contact with the group. K9s for Warriors doesn’t breed and train service dogs. Instead, they rescue dogs from kill shelters and train the dogs to be service animals for veterans at no cost.

Do you know a veteran who struggles with life after service? You can introduce them to K9s for Warriors for a companionship that they surely need.
