본 내용은 Dognition의 Vanessa Woods가 LiveScience에 기고한 Op-Ed(기고문)를 바탕으로 함.
9월 11일은 9/11 테러 12주년이 되는 날이며, 그 이후로 미국은 계속해서 전쟁 상태에 놓여 있음.
전쟁터에서 귀환한 많은 미군 인력들에게는 또 다른 형태의 전투가 기다리고 있음.
Dognition citizen science project(시민 과학 프로젝트)는 재향군인 지원 단체들과 협력하고 있음.
목적 1: 재향군인들이 자신의 반려견을 더 잘 이해하도록 돕기 위함.
목적 2: PTSD(외상 후 스트레스 장애)를 겪으며 귀환한 재향군인들에게 반려견이 어떻게 도움이 될 수 있는지에 대한 인식을 높이기 위함.
Vanessa Woods의 개인적 경험과 재향군인의 삶
Vanessa Woods는 재향군인의 자녀로서 전쟁이 시간과 지리적 경계를 초월한다는 점을 이해하고 있음.
아버지와 관련된 일화:
"I remember my father cowering on the ground during New Year’s Eve fireworks." — (새해맞이 불꽃놀이 때 아버지가 바닥에 웅크리고 숨던 기억을 회상함.)
"Nights with barricades built from furniture in the bedroom." — (침실의 가구로 바리케이드를 쌓았던 밤들을 기억함.)
"Refuge in alcohol, which was really no refuge at all." — (도피처로서 술을 찾았지만, 그것은 실제로는 전혀 도피처가 되지 못했음을 언급함.)
"A string of failed marriages and finally, leaving us for various countries around Vietnam, his own ground zero." — (여러 번의 결혼 실패와 결국 베트남 주변의 여러 나라들, 즉 아버지 자신만의 ground zero로 우리를 떠났던 일을 설명함.)

These veterans and their dogs are recent graduates of K9s for Warriors.
Our Vanessa Woods has written an Op-Ed for LiveScience about dogs as treatment for veterans with PTSD. She writes:
Today marks the 12th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. The United States has been at war ever since. For many U.S. military personnel who return from war zones, another type of combat awaits. The Dognition citizen science project is working with veteran support groups to help veterans better understand their dogs and raise awareness about how dogs can help veterans returning from combat with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
As the child of a veteran, I know that war transcends time and geography. I remember my father cowering on the ground during New Year’s Eve fireworks. Nights with barricades built from furniture in the bedroom. Refuge in alcohol, which was really no refuge at all. A string of failed marriages and finally, leaving us for various countries around Vietnam, his own ground zero.
