All Month Dog Holiday Observances: Adopt a Senior pet Month, Pet Diabetes Month and Pet Cancer Awareness Month
November 1, 2019 and November 8, 2019: To Be of Service Movie Premieres
“To Be of Service” follows as military veterans as they are paired with service dogs and re-visits these new battle buddies over the months to see how this deeply bonded friendship brings a return to independence and love. Directed by Academy Award nominated filmmaker Josh Aronson and featuring an original song by Jon Bon Jovi.
This film explores life changes from the introduction of trained service dogs into the lives of military veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Many veterans’ experience of returning home is wrought with depression and a wrenching disconnect from the world they once knew, and the newly returned men and women struggle to function and return to a normal civilian life. For the lucky ones who are paired with a service dog, the unconditional love and support offered by these highly trained canines become the bedrock for them to re-engage with the outside world and to learn to feel again. To Be Of Service crosses the country to meet veterans just before they are paired with their service dog and learn how profoundly difficult their lives have been. The film follows these military veterans as they are paired with their dog and will re-visit these new battle buddies over the months to see how this deeply bonded friendship brings a return to independence and love for these men and women who have been so traumatized by war. Directed by Academy Award nominated filmmaker Josh Aronson and featuring an original song by Jon Bon Jovi. The film will premiere in New York’s on November 1st and in Los Angeles on November 8th. Check out the trailer here. Look for screenings here.
