SANDY, Utah — For years, tail-wagging companions have been helping veterans struggling with mental health disorders.

When Feaster came back from serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, she noticed the number of veterans needing support and who could benefit from a service dog continuing to grow. In Sandy, Feaster is hosting the first class of trainers to train dogs for advanced cases of PTSD, suicide prevention, severe mobility challenges, and psychiatric support.

The class is a step up from normal training, openly tackling what can be an invisible struggle so many veterans deal with. And it’s designed to save lives.
