When help arrived, he took them to the backyard, where they found McGlade unconscious, and got him to a hospital. The Marine had served two tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan before being injured by a roadside bomb. He got the Pit Bull and Lab mix to recognize when he has seizures coming on, and to help him cope with PTSD. "I don't think I could operate in the everyday world without him right now," McGlade says. The veteran is doing well after spending a night in the hospital. - Watch it at CNN - http://www.cnn.com/video/data/2.0/video/us/2014/05/12/dnt-dog-dials-911-saves-veteran-owner.wsyx.html

 

 

seizures and PTSD? two conditions that marijuana can help. too bad this vet is in ohio where they dont have mmj yet. service and guide dogs are great, but what about preventing seizures safely with marijuana? wouldnt that be better than having an ambulance take you to a hospital? or falling down unconcious?

Service dogs are the greatest gift to humans. Our GS pup is being trained to be a service dog for me.This brave Marine trained his dog himself. And yes,prevent the falls and the seizures  before they occur. Good one ,t-Pain.

i raised a leader dog for the blind , it was a very good experience. taught me a lot about responsibility.

if anyone is thinking about getting a dog, think about raising and training a leader dog puppy. its very rewarding, but requires a lot of time and effort.
