LIVES | Small village near Ashkelon |
FAMILY | Married with three children |
PARTNER | Rita – female, Labrador |
Elad suffers from panic attacks and nightmares, but partnering with Rita has helped reduce these symptoms of post-trauma stress disorder that he struggles with.
“I describe my life as before and after Rita. With her by my side, I experience fewer panic and anger attacks. My rehabilitation has been helped so much by her presence in my life and in our family’s life. Since she joined us, she’s allowed us to go back to being a normal family. I go out more and can function almost like I could before my post-trauma. The team at the Centre is with us every step of the way, and that has made a huge difference. I couldn’t be more grateful.”
Rita allowed us to go back to being a normal family.
A full PTSD service dog partnership costs the Israel Guide Dog Centre £36,000 and our clients nothing, as we give them this service free of charge. To help us provide more trained guide dogs for people like Elad please donate today.
