Thank you.

This is year two.

Year two that we've been able to do this.

And I don't know for those people that don't know, and I don't know if you guys know this either, but to get a veteran a dog costs $50,000.

And it's a two-year process in the training.

So we're trying to get a local vet, a Chicago local vet, a dog.

A lot of these veterans suffer from PTSD.

They have mobility issues, night terrors.

And these dogs literally change their lives overnight.

Oh.

Isn't that touching?

So touching what these dogs can do for these vets.

Yeah, they're fantastic.

And when we talk to the veterans who have received the dogs, they really can't say enough about the organization.

They're really amazing.

The vets or anybody who receives one of these service dogs, they don't have to pay a single dollar.

It's 100% covered.

And follow-ups, anytime they have questions or they need to get involved or they have to, or if anything were to come up in the future, it's still 100% covered.

Usually they're golden retrievers or labs.

Labradors.
