Matthew Gosney

As a veteran struggling with PTSD, I was beginning to feel like a cripple and a recluse. Without my wife, I would not leave my home alone. My anxiety was through the roof. Knowing my affection for animals, my loving wife suggested getting a service animal, believing another companion could ease my anxiety and bring some normalcy back to our lives. With her support, we added Woodrow to our home and sought out programs to help train him. We found Operation Dog Tag. I am grateful to find a program that understands my needs and understands the combat veteran. With Operation Dog Tag, I now have a sense of hope and confidence.
