Sue Downes, 28, was deployed to Afghanistan as a military police officer when she lost both legs in an explosion in 2006. Through the Neads (National Education for Assistance Dog Services) Canines for Combat Veterans program, she was paired with Lila in 2007. The dog has become a loving and intuitive companion, helping Ms. Downes walk and deal with post-traumatic stress disorder. "She helps me with a lot of stress issues, which I didn't expect her to do," she said.



As a first lieutenant in the Army, Jeffrey Adams was responsible for 35 soldiers in Baghdad when he lost his leg in 2004. Though a dog lover, Mr. Adams, now 29, was not sure he needed help. "You get military people that think, 'I'm an alpha male, alpha female, and I don't need a dog,' " he said. He eventually overcame his reluctance, and in February 2008 was teamed with Sharif, a yellow Labrador and golden retriever mix.



Sharif is trained to respond to 40 commands, a skill that becomes crucial when Mr. Adams removes his prosthetic leg. The dog is so good at retrieving dropped objects and helping with balance that Mr. Adams's wife, Katie, jokes that Sharif has made him lazier. "But that's not it," Mr. Adams said. "He makes me safer."

Mr. Adams's experience with Sharif has made him a dedicated advocate for service dogs for other wounded veterans. "They are there to help you, assist you, and will be always there for you regardless," he said.
