Labradoodle and PTSD

On Tuesday I saw a beautiful 16 week old Labradoodle; and this new cross breed is a combination of a Lab and Poodle that has been developed in Australia.

It was absolutely gorgeous, and as soon as its mother stopped to talk to someone it immediately sat down. It was so obedient even without any instruction, it just seemed to know instinctively what to do.

Its guardians said that it takes them ages to get anywhere because everyone wishes to stroke it and talk about it. It is a relatively new breed in the UK, and it has a long way to go prior to the hybrid being fully established.

The labradoodle has such a wonderful temperament, and is ideal for children. I looked to see what they are doing and a trust has been set up for rescue dogs; and they are looking for foster carers. So I applied to be a foster carer for any rescue dogs, it would be great to give healing to dogs as well, so that maybe helpful to the trust. [3]

Then I just came across this article where the 'Labradoodle helped an army vet with his PTSD'. [2]

You see what that man required was unconditional love and cuddles that the right dog can give. The drugs and therapy that he was offered for his condition, did not help him, the dog did.  [2] Animals are such wonderful healers of humanity.

People make such large donations to 'Blind Dogs for the Blind' and they have more money then they know what to do with. Giving the right dog to a person with PTSD, would help so many people that require that love. Its time to expand upon the healing power of the dog, to help many people that require their help.

They look just like teddy bears and that reminds me of a healing that I did with teddy bears. It is often the case that the babies first love is a teddy bear, as such, the teddy bear can be a powerful aspect of the healing process for those that are healing their childhoods. It was all part of the duck egg rebirth healing, and three teddy bears were given in a healing for a lady who had experienced the 'trauma' of a series of operations.

Every case is unique. However, everyone that requires healing, also require love beyond measure.
