Description

Dogs have been called “man’s best friend” for thousands of years, though their exact origins as companions are still up for debate. From guarding early camps to helping with hunting, dogs have served as loyal partners to humans. Today, they continue to support people by assisting those with disabilities, detecting explosives, providing protection and offering comfort to individuals with post-traumatic stress disorder [PTSD]. Training dogs for those tasks is no easy feat, but Devildog Canine in Normal is up for the challenge.
