I'm aware of the program. I've seen many of the benefits of it, but it's primarily housed in our VHA, the hospital arm of VA.
Here's what I do know about it, and it's primarily tied to those with mental injuries. The dog is a stress reliever and helps the individual cope with day-to-day activities in their life. VA is very involved with it. We have an entire research group that lines up veterans with dogs, and we're seeing great benefits from it.
If you'd like to go into a whole lot of detail on that, I'd be more than happy to arrange for experts who run that program in the VA to provide you with further information. But that's about the extent of my knowledge of the program.
