There's a great program in Troy helping dogs in trouble by putting them together with local veterans who suffer from PTSD. Joni Bonilla is the founder of Operation At Ease. She finds rescue dogs and helps the vets train them as service dogs... of which there are too few with very long waiting lists.
But the program needs money to continue. A 17-year old senior at Emma Willard is coming to the rescue. Rosemarie Davidson has battled depression in the past and has her own therapy dog. She says she needed to do something to help THIS program...and she has. She's raised $16,000 dollars so far and has a goal of $20,000 which will allow "Operation At Ease" to get it's own space and "soldier on".
