From the Archives: Josh Aronson & Julie Sayres. PTSD, Veterans and Their Service Dogs

Today on the podcast I am joined by Josh Aronson and Julie Sayres, the filmmakers of the film To Be Of Service, a documentary film about war veterans who are paired with service dogs to help them regain their lives. "[T]he big picture is clear, and its overriding point well made: These dogs are saving the lives of those who’ve sacrificed so much. Every person profiled here deserves an immense amount of respect. Every animal, too."​ - Ken Jaworowski, New York TimesJosh Aronson directed To Be Of Service.
