Ruby and Gunner are two pets that give a whole new meaning to “rescue dog.” They have both been more than a best friend to their owners; they have been life savers. Ruby is a diabetic alert dog who keeps her owner, Faith, safe and Gunner helps his owner, Lt. Chet Frith, manage his PTSD.

“He understands when I am tense and allows me to get out of those situations.” -Lt. Chet Frith
