Nothing heals our emotional wounds quite so well as unconditional love, and nowhere is that love purer than between a dog and his best friend. This is the story of two dogs, Mama and Panda, their owner Joshua, and the volunteer who brought this family back together, Mariah and Tia.
After Air Force veteran Joshua returned home from Afghanistan, he, like so many of our veterans, had trouble adjusting to civilian life. The scars of war are felt deepest in its absence. During his attempts to acclimate himself back to normalcy, Joshua had the comfort and support of his two beloved dogs. Mama and Panda were there for him in a way that other people could not be.
He never had to fear their judgement of any odd behavior, and could always count on their devoted happiness in his presence. Regrettably, Joshua had to leave his greatest support behind when he had to move from Louisiana to California.
What happens after two months? I’m speechless…
