Summary:
After a particularly grisly canine search-and-rescue mission led to a struggle with PTSD, Susannah Charleson credits her healing to her partnership with search dog Puzzle. Inspired by that experience and having met dogs formally trained to assist in such crises, Charleson learns to identify abandoned dogs with service potential, and to train them for work beside hurting partners, to whom these second-chance dogs bring intelligence, comfort, and hope.
