The AP had a small item today on a new and interesting project called Pets2Vets, which seeks to match military veterans with post-combat stress/PTSD with a suitable dog or cat from an animal shelter. This is such a great idea not only because animals have been proven to be quite useful therapies for PTSD, but because this country’s animal shelters are overrun with unwanted animals, far too many of whom end up being euthanized. Anything that works to address those twin problems is good with me.
