My name is Shawn Michaud. I received a Cane Corso named Sarafina from Corsos for Heroes in June of 2000. Since that time, Sarafina and I have completed Service Dog training at K9’s on the Front Line. I served in the 82nd Airborne Division as a paratrooper and I suffered a TBI in training and developed PTSD and numerous spinal and neurological injuries as a result. “Fina” helps me with mobility, sleep, hypervigilance, and is the greatest gift.
