When Chad Miron's mind wanders back to the terrors of war in Afghanistan, he has a way out.
With one simple cue, Norman, his service dog, can break the former soldier's descent into darkness.
His canine companion has been specially trained to help veterans who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). When Miron has a flashback, he just has to say the word, "Nudge," and Norman snuggles his black furry head in close, lavishing Miron with attention.
Saw another story on CTV the other day about a former member living in or near Saskatoon. His registered therapy dog was a Pitt Bull bitch. Other stories have all sorts of breeds, but most of them tend to be larger working breeds like labs and shepherds. Physical comfort and unconditional love is what they give. They are always there.
