Once interpret regarding this location more than years ago, there be a number of noticeable red flags that someone connected with a documented first-class service dog plan would instantly spot.

The dog was given by a entirely indefinite and recently-formed association with no evident thorough official request or assessment method for also the dog or human being. The dog was a kind not generally related with service dogs – a pit bull. The position was through method also before time in the veteran’s healing procedure, less than six months after the first wound, for example, Canine Companions for Independence (CCI), base on its 34 years of familiarity with rigorously wounded candidate, require applicant to be one year “post-event”.

There was no suggestion whatever of some commonly planned follow-up actions with the person getting the dog, a critical aspect of any position. This association was established by a wounded paws of veterans who is, no doubt, very well-significance, and who maintain to get a fair total of good press, including from some very well-known veterans support groups and at least one famous dog trainer (who, frankly, should know better).
