Military Dog Video of the Week(August 9th, 2012): K9 Healers
This video is fabulous because it brings attention to a truly unheralded unit on the battlefield….our military Veterinarian Corps! This is the muscle and brains that keep our dog teams functioning and operating at a high level. It is because of these great American’s that our dog teams are on the front lines protecting our troops!
This is exactly why the heroine in my novel, Megan Jayburn, is a veterinarian technician. I’ve mentioned this kick ass character before in my first Women in Combat Post. (Boy did that post and the subsequent posts on that topic receive a lot of attention!)
My third post had 2,400 hits in the first day! I remember that day because it was the day we brought our baby boy Brady home from the hospital! But I digress…….
In Paws on the Ground, Megan, is assigned to the veterinarian clinic mentioned in this video! How cool is that?
No you won’t see Megan in this video. But the folks in this video are essential cogs in the military machine!
Cheers to our Veterinarian Corps!

I know Karen! I took a note to add that into my next novel! Megan will have to take care of that problem!
Hulis Hugo Rachel says: We LOVE IT! This is the angle/aspect not very many people get to see. Thank You for giving us a taste of this crew! I have had the magic of working with K-9′s and horses with PTSD. Horses are my passion. If ever you run into this issue, we would love to hear a story about it!
godspeed.

These K9 healers are the coolest! Vets also do some other cool missions like food inspections!
Hello,
I have reached out to locate K9 organizations to provide rehabilitative and non-rehabilitative massage on military dogs. However, it seems that there really aren’t any retired dogs in my are (Northern NJ)
However, I am also an animal communicator and Reiki Master and I also happen to be a former therapist specializing in trauma and PTSD. I understand that not everyone recognizes or understands what I do but I would be willing to volunteer my services to military K9s. Animal commication and Reiki can be utilized from a distance and can contribute to healing from PTSD.
If you know of anyone who would like to take advantage of my services, my contact is anneangelo848@gmail.com.
Sincerely,
Anne Angelo, SAMP, LCSW
