Episode Description

‘Dogs can heal invisible wounds.’ Loyal, affectionate, and often hilarious - the right dog can can offer exactly the support some veterans need. This time, Hannah and Richard speak with Bravehound, a charity that provide assistance dogs to veterans with a clinical diagnosis of a mental health condition such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, depression or anxiety. We also attend their incredible dog show at Craiglockhart, at Edinburgh Napier University.
