I met Joe Scheffer at “Operation Dog Tag”, when I was at a very low point in my life... After coming home I began to struggle and fell deeper and deeper into what seemed like a black hole that had no exit. My marriage was in turmoil and I just couldn’t get myself together, until Raider, my dog who was given to me by “Operation Dog Tag.” This dog is so much more than a companion. He’s like a glimmer of hope in a black hole of depression. This incredible pup has truly saved me, and I am blessed to have him!
