Gia Scotts Dawn of Shades 011210 with guest Jane Miller author of Healing Companions

On January 12, 2010, Jane Miller appeared on Gia Scott's Dawn of Shades to discuss the contributions psychiatric service dogs make towards effective long term treatment of a wide variety of disorders.   Jane Miller is the author of "Healing Companions: Ordinary Dogs and Their Extraordinary Power to Transform Lives" and a private social worker. 

Jane talks of training rescue dogs to become psychiatric service dogs, and the type of dogs that are best suited, as well as how these dogs are treated to ensure they have a happy life as well.  She also discusses various resources available to anyone with an invisible disability who seeks the assistance of a service dog.

Part of the story that Jane shares with the audience is how and why she started utilizing the human-dog bond as part of the overall treatment plan for her patients, as well as other personal stories.  All of these stories help the audience understand the difference between a therapy dog and a service dog, as well as who to contact in reference to adding a service dog to their own lives.
