SUCCESS STORIES

I Feel A True Happiness That I Never Believed I Would Ever Feel Again

To say that NSD Lynx has been a life saver seems like a tremendous understatement; my life and my whole family’s life has changed so much.

I have a new, manageable life with my wife and my son that I never dreamed would be possible, let alone dared to imagine, before receiving this wonderful gift. Today with the help of NSD Lynx, my family and I “LIVE” with PTSD, we no longer “SUFFER” from it.

Clover and Kyle

SUCCESS STORIES

So Many New Firsts Experienced, I Can Hardly Keep Track!

NSD Clover has changed our life and the entire way Kyle functions in only 7 short months. The happiness, self confidence, courage, social, language and communication strides she has helped Kyle make are truly immeasurable. He has EXPLODED in his development as of late.

We are forever grateful for the compassion, empathy and guardianship NSD Clover loves and shares with Kyle. She is truly magic in a dog! We could not imagine living life without her. She is truly a beloved member of our family.

SUCCESS STORIES

He Has Had An Impact From Day One

NSD Uno is brilliant! He has settled in wonderfully to his job with me, and is also happily adjusted to our home life. He’s out working daily with a variety of students. If I could tell you how positive an effect Uno is having, it would take up a lifetime.

Including CAI Dogs in therapy provides patients with the ability to open up and speak out and participate in ways they were not able to when the dog was not present.

SUCCESS STORIES

A Dog With A Heart That Connects Beyond Words

Sammy is an amazing beautiful dog with a heart that connects beyond words. Last night was the easiest night I have ever had to put my boys to sleep. Usually, it can take up to 2 hours before they can settle enough to sleep (it has taken me 3 hours when they were younger!), and that is already after being in their bedroom!

Yesterday they were under their blankets, and Sammy was right between them, giving love! With joy in all our hearts, we started saying goodnight, then goodnight moon (from the book), “goodnight Sammy,” then sleep and quiet snoring!
