K9 Partners for Patriots

On this episode, we chat with Mary Peter, the founder of K9 Partners for Patriots. This nonprofit is on a mission to end veteran suicide, which claims over 6,000 lives in the U.S. every year. Mary seeks to transform the lives of vulnerable veterans with the help of some very skilled, very adorable, four-legged friends.

We’ll also hear from Jimmy Tatum, an Army veteran whose life was forever changed by the organization. Jimmy shares his story with beautiful honesty, making us laugh and cry in equal measure. We hear about his time in the service, his difficulty adjusting to civilian life, circumstances that lead to getting diagnosed with PTSD, being paired with a service dog through K9 Partners for Patriots, and coming out the other side feeling grateful. Sidenote: The handsome pup in our episode artwork is Jimmy's first service dog, Remi!
