Dogs Replacing Drugs in Therapy for Stress

I was reading just the other day in the Province newspaper, that the US government is spending millions of dollars on a pilot program that provides trained psychiatric service dogs for war veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress. According to the home page of the US Army website, "Medication works 50 percent of the time. Talk therapy alone, works 30 percent of the time, and dogs work 84.5 percent of the time."

I could have told them this for the price of a handful of biscuits.
