K9′s for Warriors is a nonprofit organization that pairs trained service animals with veterans suffering from PTSD and other military trauma.
– Danny Onvimala, an Army veteran of 20 years and his battle buddy Private, a black Labrador retriever, are inseparable.
Private was introduced to Onvimala through K9′s for Warriors, a nonprofit organization that pairs trained service animals with veterans suffering from PTSD among other military trauma. “Before I received private, I spent five years after my retirement isolated, in my garage too anxiety filled, too afraid, too angry, to actually leave my house,” he said. “Once I was paired with Private, the day I was paired I cried hard. Since I’ve had Private, I never feel alone anymore.”
“He forces me to get out of my comfort zone, to set a goal and achieve that goal. One of my latest goals was to go to the lake, I have not been to any water activity in over a decade. I was actually able to take my three kids and Private to the lake. Since Private has been with me I can’t see my life without him, because he is a part of me,” Onvimala said.
