Longo told Saturday Report that his Warriors Choice Foundation raises dogs for the specific vet they will be placed with. “I think it’s just a bond that you form with these animals that, they’re able to help take you out of these head spaces of possible self-harm.”

Dogs that are raised and placed in service by the foundation, he said, can literally bring new life for veterans. “And, you know, just to help you appreciate the moments that you have where nothing needs to be said. It’s just an emotional connection that really ties you and grounds you into learning how to love yourself.”
