Our History

Canine-Assisted Warrior Therapy®

Under the guidance of PPH instructors, service members engage with specially bred Golden Retriever and Labrador puppies.

The man is smiling and wearing a beige beanie, a green shirt, ripped jeans, and brown shoes. The setting appears to be an indoor space with a white wall, some tables, and a drawer unit in the background.
