Veterans train their own service dogs through Bay Area nonprofit
Briefly

"So the program normally takes one year. But then again, it could take more than that. We work at the speed of the veteran or client," Reyes said.
"I was pushing away my family, my communication went to hell- I didn't want to talk to anybody and having a service dog allows me to open up and talk to people," Reyes said.
"Sixty-percent of its brain is dedicated to the sense of smell and your body is made up of a whole lot of chemistry. So when your chemistry changes, the dog is going to know it," Cortani said.
"I always tell everybody milk chocolate melts in your mouth, not your hands- this guy, he melted in my hands. And yeah, after that my life changed," Reyes said.
