Abstract

This paper explored the therapeutic benefits of certified service canines for veterans with war-related trauma disorders such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression. A review of the literature was conducted, followed by a pilot study using interviews and thematic analysis of the transcriptions from the interviews to determine the therapeutic benefits that canines may provide to combat veterans with a war-related trauma disorder.
