44.Gus the service dog saved my Husband and our Family

<p>This week on the Podcast I talk to Army spouse Bec about a service dog called Gus and how he saved her husband, her marriage and her family. Gus was matched to her Husband through the Defence Community Dog Program, a program that is funded by the Defence Bank Foundation.</p> <p>The DCD program provides highly trained service dogs to serving and ex-serving ADF members who need support to deal with injuries and illnesses including Post-traumatic Stress Disorder. Every dog in the program is rescued from a pound or shelter and trained at the Bathurst Correctional Centre with the assistance of professional dog trainers and inmates at the centre.</p> <div>The admin costs to run the Defence Bank Foundation are met by <a href="https://www.defencebank.com.au/">Defence Bank</a> to make sure that all donated funds are provided to the Defence Community Dog program.
