The power of a service dog. Ten-year Navy veteran Marty Copeland didn’t think he needed a service dog because, as he put it, he’d never been visibly injured.
That changed two years ago when fostering a dog for Spotsylvania-based Leashes of Valor led him to Darby Grace, the service dog who ended up helping him in ways he hadn’t realized he needed.
Copeland shared his story during Saturday’s Leashes of Valor graduation ceremony. leashesofvalor.org
