Service Dog Helps Massachusetts Veteran’s Struggle with PTSD

callahan and maggie

Lance Corporal Callahan is a marine veteran who serves 3 overseas deployments. He suffers from PTSD and feels anxious at nighttime and in crowds. Callahan even mentions that noises make him search the house.

Operation Delta Dog, a non-profit organization that trains shelter dogs to become service animals, helped Callahan get a service dog named Maggie. Maggie calms down Callahan when he feels anxious. She can also sense when Callahan is having a night terror and wakes him up.

Callahan and his family were able to enjoy a trip to Disney World, thanks to Maggie’s presence. Their vacation photos showed that Maggie had a great time with the family as well.
