Human-Canine Research Healing Wounded Veterans
The devastating symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) had become an all too familiar part of the life of Cheryl A. Krause-Parello, Ph.D., of the
Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing.
For her husband, a Marine veteran and possibly one of the estimated 300,000 veterans facing the ravages of the disorder, most days were a struggle as he took part in the rescue and recovery efforts at the site of the destroyed World Trade Center.
Krause-Parello tapped into her own human-animal interaction research to help her husband. Her background as a nurse scientist and anthrozoologist enabled her to see the significant healing impact her own pet dachshund had on her husband. This led her to create the Canines Providing Assistance to Wounded Warriors (CPAWW), a health research initiative for military and veterans.
