    Jocelyn and Médric Cousineau founded Paws Fur Thought to pair service dogs with veterans and first responders affected by operational stress injuries. After a wonderful dog named Thai came into Médric’s life to help him cope with PTSD symptoms, the couple wanted to give the same opportunity to others. Their organization has raised funds to train and deploy 100 dogs so far, and continues to advocate for service dog standards and for people dealing with operational stress injuries.
