Inspirational accounts of veterans who have moved forward from mental and physical injuries toward healthier lives with the help of service dogs. Hundreds of thousands of military veterans seek treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) each year. Service dogs have been used for many years in the civilian sector to help their disabled owners perform necessary tasks in daily life; likewise, the organized use of therapy dogs to bring comfort and companionship to hospital and nursing-home patients dates back more than four decades. Reporting for Duty explores the unique and special bond between wounded warriors—especially those suffering from PTSD—and their service dogs and discusses the vital work of therapy dogs who visit VA hospitals and military rehabilitation facilities. Author Tracy Libby tells the true stories of disabled veterans who have been touched, assisted, and enriched by the dogs in their lives, and the new lease on life is reciprocal: many of these service and therapy dogs have been rescued from shelters and specially trained for their jobs. A portion of proceeds from the sale of this book will benefit a veterans’ service-dog organization.Inside Reporting for Duty . . .True stories of physically and mentally disabled veterans who count on service dogs for assistance with daily tasksAn explanation of PTSD and how it affects military veteransHow therapy dogs and service dogs are selected and trained for their jobsRescuing shelter dogs to train for therapy and service workHow the military is training dogs to accompany soldiers on deploymentsA look at the bond between people and dogs and the positive effects it has on bothShow book

The federal justice system is a grotesque charade, manipulated by the government to crush dissent and exert authoritarian control. Described as the regime's brutal enforcers, federal prosecutors ruthlessly hunt for convictions, unconcerned with fairness or justice. Empowered by unchecked authority, FBI agents and other federal operatives twist the law to bolster a tyrannical system, trampling civil liberties without remorse. Meanwhile, federal public defenders, overwhelmed and underfunded, are pawns in a rigged game designed to ensure defeat for the accused. In 'Beating the System,' Ardit Ferizi pulls back the curtain on the dark corridors of the U.S. Department of Justice, revealing a sinister world of systemic abuse and tyranny. More than an exposé, this book is a battle cry and a survival guide, arming readers with crucial knowledge to fight against the federal behemoth. From the deceptions in the courtroom to the treachery of prison life post-sentencing, Ferizi exposes the cruel mechanisms—like jailhouse snitches and deceitful plea bargains—that force guilty pleas and secure wrongful convictions. The book delves deep into the initial stages of legal battles, the deceit of grand juries, and the hurdles of trial and discovery in 'The Federal Court Gauntlet.' It also uncovers the toxic snitch culture and its devastating impact on sentencing in 'The Snitch System and Self-Sabotage.' In 'Surviving and Thriving Post-Sentencing,' it offers tactics for enduring and navigating the brutal reality of prison life. 'Beating the System' is a vehement guide to dismantling the corrupt forces entrenched in federal governance. It demands a radical overthrow of a justice system that serves prosecution over people, urging a rebellion against governmental tyranny."Show book
