Regent Stacy Kehoe of the Judge David Campbell Tennessee Society Daughters of the American Revolution volunteered at the Obedience Club of Chattanooga.  She assisted with Operation Freedom Dogs inaugural veteran group for crossing the finish line with their Public Access Test.   

Dave and Fox, Scott and Sasha, Jorge and Sasha, and Jay and Colt all passed.

Starting in early January, these four combat veterans started an unknown and undeveloped process but agreed to be "test dummies" for future veterans who struggle with Post Traumatic Stress since returning home from war. They have worked hard over sevent months with their new life partners. 

Providing them with a qualified K9 partner can help with everyday tasks and assist in getting back the life they fought for, said officials.
