      Maggie O'Haire, PhD, shares how service dogs can help alleviate posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, like by detecting distress signals and waking the veteran up during a nightmare.

      The PAWS Act, introduced by Florida Congressman John Rutherford, seeks to establish a competitive grant program for organizations like K9s for Warriors to pair service dogs with veterans.

      Dr O'Haire is the leader of the Organization for Human-Animal Interaction Research and Education (OHAIRE) research group and an associate professor of Human-Animal Interaction at Purdue University.
