Canine Companions for Independence
Proud to Serve Veterans Canine Companions for Independence has provided many assistance dogs to US war veterans across the country. With the increase in wounded veterans who could benefit from an assistance dog, we want to do more. For a veteran making a new start putting their life back together from an injury, an assistance dog can provide the help they need to regain independence. Questions?

IN THEIR BOOTS
The premiere episode will feature a documentary about the Babins: “Beating the Odds.” OIF Alan Babin served as a combat medic with the 82nd Airborne when he was injured by a gunshot wound to the abdomen while rendering aid to a fellow paratrooper on March 31, 2003. Interviewed will be OIF Alan Babin, his mother Rosie Babin (caretaker and advocate), and Paralyzed Veterans representative Bo Rollins (Director of Field Services / Veterans Benefits.) IN THEIR BOOTS will be hosted by Jan Bender, a veteran of the war in Iraq who served as a rifleman/combat correspondent in Iraq with 3rd Battalion, 1st Marines from 2004 to 2005. IN THEIR BOOTS will be built around a 10-minute documentary told from the perspective of men and women in uniform and their families; we’re calling them “Real Stories”. The stories will stress optimism, the courage of the characters, and the valor of the people and organizations that help them on their journey.
