I, specialist Donald Sohler (US Army), was shot 7 times in Iraq on December 26, 2007. I struggle with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) as well as many physical challenges. I got a Basset Hound and named him Huck. I feel I can talk to him about anything and he won't judge me.
After Iraq I became hyper vigilant. Huck is an extra set of eyes and ears for me. Around Huck I feel safe; I am currently training Huck with Operation Dog Tag, and I am excited he will be able to help me with the everyday task I currently struggle with.

A MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR OF OPERATION DOG TAG
Operation Dog Tag is a non-profit organization dedicated to training dogs for combat Veterans. Then in turn, training those Vets to train other dogs for other Vets. Having a dog has been proven to help with rehabilitation & many Veterans in our area are in desperate need. The Veterans are given these dogs at no cost.
So please help us help our Veterans by donating to: Pointman Int’l Ministries (DBA Operation Dog Tag),
