(41)

And most importantly, with the support of the community and civilians that partake and engage in our program. Our dogs are not service dogs or therapy dogs, they are shelter dogs that are like the Vets in so many ways. They are stygmatized, misunderstood - not so good thing have happened to them; yet you you could have no greater friend. To quote one of the combat Veterans in the program:
"I like working with these dogs because ther were throw aways just like me"

Yesterday afternoon we had the opportunity to speak about our mission at the University of Buffalo’s School of Social Work Joining Forces Research Colloquium. We discussed many veterans issues and what we have been doing here in the community the last eleven years to combat those issues. US Army Veteran Darren Kolek and his dog Re*****on who have been training with us for a few months now came to their first outing. Darren spoke about the positive impact that Re*****on has made in his life so far. A very special thank you needs to go out to Lisa and Bonnie for inviting us.

Jut some cool history… about a dog. 👇

Jack Brutus: Spanish-American War Mascot

Jack Brutus, also known as Old Jack, became famous in history as the official mascot for Company K, First Connecticut Volunteer Infantry.

Old Jack was born in Cumberland, Maine in 1891 and led an exciting life even before he served his country. According to George Thayer (who wrote a book about the history of Company K), "He [Jack] had friends in most of the cities in New England through his associations with the traveling public at the West End Hotel at Portland. Frequently he visited them in their own homes, taking passage in some steamer or boarding some train, and returning to Portland in due time."

In May 1898, Company K met Brutus at Fort Preble in Portland, Maine. The soldiers bonded quickly with the dog and declared him as their company's official mascot. Old Jack traveled with the men as they encamped at various places on the Eastern seaboard - from Maine to Virginia - providing coastal defense during the Spanish-American War.

Brutus was a large-breed dog and about seven years old during his service with Company K. While at Camp Alger near Falls Church, Virginia, he had a hard time tolerating the heat and the soldiers feared he would not survive. The men took well care of Jack and eventually he recovered. Old Jack also had a snoring problem that would wake the soldiers at night. A vote was taken on who was the "loudest snorer" in the camp and Brutus came in second place.

In late 1898, Wagoner Ahearn mustered out of the Army and took Jack home with him. While under a physician's care, Old Jack died from spinal problems on November 20 of that year. He was given a suitable burial and will always be remembered as a loyal war dog to the men in Company K.

Over the weekend we received some very sad news. One of our therapy dogs Marshall passed away and crossed the rainbow bridge. Marshall was a very happy dog who joined our team along with his owner retired Air Force Veteran Suzanne Laba back in 2018. Suzanne and Marshall went through the training with us and became a therapy dog pair in no time. Over the past six years Marshall touched a lot of hearts and put a lot of smiles on many faces with the work he did. Marshall will be dearly missed with his forever wagging tail. Please keep Suzanne in your thoughts as she deals with the loss of her buddy.

Yesterday we had a great time at the bike blessing at the G*Y Bar. A very special thank you needs to go out to Gus, Larry, and Jess from WNY Stilettos on Steel for making this happen and for their generous donation to our program. We would also like to thank the Kantor Gullo Law Firm for their donation as well and Rich Jones with the Buffalo Vet Center for being there with us.
