'Coming to K9s For Warriors and receiving Loose has been the best experience of my life,' the veteran said.
An Oregon man has become the 700th retired service member and first Vietnam veteran to receive a service dog from K9s For Warriors, when he was joined Friday by his new pup, Loose.
Wood's wish was granted when he, along with four other veterans, graduated from the K9s For Warriors program after traveling to Florida to train with the service dogs. Wood told local reporters that"coming to K9s For Warriors and receiving Loose has been the best experience of my life. Loose is named for another Vietnam War veteran, John Loosen, who reportedly worked as a veterans advocate until his death earlier this year.
The 10-year-old Florida-based nonprofit also says that it"supports veterans by navigating our scientifically proven process, pairing them with a trained Service Dog, and supporting them during and after the program."
