Meet the Chapter Director - Paul Dewing
I am a 20 year service English police officer, a K9 handler and behaviourist/trainer, now retired to upstate New York. I was run over by a car while on duty which resulted in TBI in 2007. I have some memory loss from my injuries. I have significant empathy with returning veterans, having suffered a TBI and been diagnosed with PTSD. I have some understanding of the need for support in dark times. My work was my calling, and I feel that as I can no longer do that, a new calling awaits, of being able to offer support to veterans. I'm married, and have a horse farm, two dogs, two cats and too many cars!
"He’s more than just a friend. He’s my battle buddy. He’s my left hand. We’re connected by a leash, but it’s really our umbilical cord. He’s sometimes more tuned into me than I’m tuned into me. He knows more about me than I do sometimes. He lets me know what’s going on."

"You would think that a dog is just a dog. That may be true for some, but not me.
I used to sit at home, alone, and just let life pass me by, but now I have a reason to get up. Even if it’s feeding Samson, or taking him for walks, he has motivated me to live again."
– Luke
