Randall Laird and his new dog Cole meet at Petco in Lake Charles, La. Lair, a veteran dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder, was matched up with Cole, a rescue dog, through the Patriot Dog Program. The program, through the People's Advocate Southwest Louisiana, provides service dogs to soldiers with PTSD. The dogs are trained by qualified professionals before being sent with the veterans.
