Veteran Finds A Kindred Spirit Through Pets For Vets

Part of each sale through the iHeartDogs store is donated to Greater Good, which helps support various charities. Thanks to customers like you, happy endings, like the one below, are made possible. 

Army MSG Gregory (Greg) Jajo of Michigan served in the Navy and Coast Guard before retiring from the Army. Greg was wounded by a roadside bomb in 2007 while serving in Iraq. He has a traumatic brain injury resulting in mobility issues and a Post-Traumatic Stress diagnosis.

At the April 2016 graduation held at the Patriot PAWS Service Dogs training center, Greg received service dog Bomber, a male yellow Lab mix. Bomber was a rescue dog, and Greg was in the foster care system as a child, so Greg believes that he and Bomber are kindred spirits.

“Bomber helps me to slow down my mind, to live less in the past. I pay more attention to life. I can talk to him and get things off my chest. He loves me, and because of that, I am learning to love again.”

Today, Greg and Bomber are a dynamic, active duo and enjoying life! Greg teaches country line dancing, and Bomber loves time in his big backyard!

When you buy items like the Military Green Paracord Watch from the iHeartDogs store, 20% of your purchase will help pair veterans with dogs who make their days better through Pets for Vets.
