Canine PTSD

Gina was a playful 2-year-old German shepherd when she went to Iraq as a highly trained bomb-sniffing dog with the military, conducting door-to-door searches and witnessing all sorts of noisy explosions.

She returned home to Colorado cowering and fearful. When her handlers tried to take her into a building, she would stiffen her legs and resist. Once inside, she would tuck her tail beneath her body and slink along the floor. She would hide under furniture or in a corner to avoid people.

  Raw Story

At least she got treatment.

  2. The people who take care of her, should help her in getting released her from the services & take her to a more relaxing environment, where in she can recover from the shock & trauma.
