Dogs of War: Inside look at life after war with PTSD service dogs

'Dogs of War:' New A and E Series Captures 'Intense' Journey of PTSD Military Veterans As They're Matched With Shelter Dogs


Stephanie, a 25 year-old wife, mom and veteran haunted by memories of her year as a prison guard in Iraq, is paired with service dog Atticus in A and E's 'Dogs of War,' a new docuseries following war veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, as they are paired with shelter dogs trained to help them adjust to life after combat.

The A and E network will soon debut "Dogs of War," a new docu-series about war veterans suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and the service dogs that help them adjust back into life after combat.

The show, which premieres on Veteran's Day next month, is based on married couple Jim and Lindsey Stanek and their nonprofit organization Paws and Stripes. The organization provides service dogs to wounded military veterans, and each episode will chronicle the journey of one or two PTSD veterans as they are paired with man's best friend.

"This series is full of raw, real and intensely emotional moments that don't often get a spotlight in mainstream media," David McKillop, General Manager and Executive Vice President of A and E said in a press release. read more here
