BRAVEHOUND

I'm working on an article on the charity 'BRAVEHOUND' for 'Dogs Today' magazine.

"BRAVEHOUND’S mission is to help heal the invisible wounds of military veterans with our specially trained assistance dogs.

"BRAVEHOUND provides assistance dogs to veterans who have a clinical diagnosis of a mental health condition such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, depression and anxiety.

"BRAVEHOUND is committed to the long term welfare of each BRAVEHOUND dog and the veteran they have been partnered with over the dog’s lifetime."

My preparation for this project will involve interviewing the CEO and a couple of veterans.
