Pertinent Information:

Gunnar's job description is Loving Veterans To Life, and this "Alusky" Alaskan Malamute/Siberian Husky takes his job seriously, he's been working hard  spending time collecting and organizing donations for veterans and their families. Part of his job with the Veterans, is making public appearances around Massachusetts, meeting new people each day whether it be in the grocery store, or a visit to the New England Dream Centers Adult Day Health program.  Gunnar doesn't mind the hard work to him it is all in a day's work.  And, it has paid off, his work is bringing awareness to Valiant Veterans valiantveterans.org an organization that began out of a need to post war veterans returning home from the recent wars of the past 12 years, who suffer from Post Traumatic StressSyndrome and Traumatic Brain Injury. 

Gunnar is also raising awareness of the need many veterans have to have dogs already in their home trained to pass AKC Canine Good Citizen test. But, Gunnar can't do it alone he needs your help, please consider a donation that will be tax deductible in support of Gunnar’s mission of Loving Veterans To Life.
