🐾 What does it mean to truly give someone their life back?
Alyssa Golob, Executive Director of Helping Paws, takes us inside their mission to train service dogs for people with physical disabilities, veterans, and first responders with PTSD.
From a mother's loving calls to her struggling son—"go play with the dogs"—to a 15-year-old girl opening her bedroom door independently for the first time, these stories reveal dignity restored, fear conquered, and freedom reclaimed. 🌟
Discover how puppies destined to change lives begin training at just three days old, and how volunteers commit two years of their hearts for the ultimate gift: independence. Alyssa shares insights on leadership, trust, and yes—how many dog selfies she really has on her phone.
Beneath the training and graduations lies something profound: sometimes the most powerful healing comes not from what we receive, but from what we're willing to give.💓
