Ella is a young woman who is diagnosed with PTSD. She was exposed to the world of Service Dogs while on her college campus, and saw the difference that dog made on her in such a short amount of time! Ella struggles daily to get restful sleep, and has difficulty trusting the environment around her. She does not feel comfortable in crowded public places, and often feels like she is in fight or flight mode!
