Returning from the throes of war is never easy, and many veterans suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). After three deployments to Iraq and three to Afghanistan, Sgt. Dennis Swols found himself following a similar to path to other veterans. He was agitated, prone to anger and unable to talk about what he saw during his time at war, but things changed when he met Lexy.
Lexy is an adorable five-year-old German shepherd who’s made helping veterans her life’s mission. Lexy first met Swols at Robinson Health Clinic in Fort Bragg and instantly felt his mood lighten while he was petting the furry pup.
