‘There’s no medicine like a dog’: Ex-soldier who trains shelter dogs to become veterans’ companions to be honored on Memorial Day in Maryland

Barbara Haddock Taylor, The Baltimore Sun - Friday

In 2017, Hardy and his wife, Mirela, started the nonprofit U.S. Kennels. They rescue dogs from shelters and match them with veterans who need help from a devoted companion. They provide a year of training for veterans and their dogs at their facility, along with food, veterinary care and all the supplies they need, at no charge to the veterans.

“There’s no medicine like a dog. They save lives like you wouldn’t believe,” he said.
