I'll start, and I'll give it to Darlene.
Absolutely, and what we know about the dog itself is that dogs live in the moment. Dogs are very present. That's what happens when the veterans are with the dog, and we see that in all types of contexts. Even when we're working in prison with dogs, it helps people be in the moment.
When you are working with the veteran and they are working with the dog who is in the moment, they are also taking that on. They're also doing things like tactile touch. That's going to help them calm down, or whatever it is that the dog's trained to do, and the veteran, as you were saying there, is trained to do that at that time as well.
The dog is not this big magical thing that's going to fix everything. The dog is a complement to the other services that are going on in that veteran's life, and this is what we say all the time.
I'm going to slip this in before I give it to Darlene. The welfare of that dog is absolutely essential, and I think we always need to start from that, because it's not a tool.
