YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

After 31 years of dealing with PTSD all alone, veteran John Tipton decided it was time to get help. That help came in the form of a lab-terrier mix named Daisy.

Having spent 22 years in the Marine Corps and being deployed to places like Lebanon, Grenada, and serving in the first Gulf War, John was no stranger to the trauma of war. He’s one of many veterans who reap the benefits of now having a service dog.

Despite the positive impact Daisy has had on John’s life, he noticed one downside: he was having a hard time finding a job, and he thinks it's because potential employers weren't too keen on him having a service dog. He spent three years searching for a job that would allow Daisy to come work with him, but had no luck. Then he heard from a casino in California that had a unique hiring policy.
