The therapy dog program at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington is shown briefly. The Director of their service dog program, Harvey Naranjo, and his program's first dog, Deuce (both shown in the video), came to NY City for Soldiers' Ride a few years ago. That event was a 20 mile bike ride through the city and made up various riders, including amputee veterans. I had the privilege of meeting Naranjo and Deuce while covering the story. 4 min., 29 sec.
