Elizabeth De La Garza & Corey


Veteran: Elizabeth De La Garza

Service Dog: Corey

I received Corey two years ago as my service dog from the VA Dogs of Texas and he’s been the sweetest in the world. He loves everyone who pays him attention, but above all, he loves me the most. At first I thought having such a large dog would be a problem for me. But he’s such a good boy and so quiet, he’s nothing more than just another part of me.

He’s impacted me in a very positive way. I used to be afraid to be alone in the dark, and worse, when I was home alone and I didn’t know if someone was coming through the front door. Since he barks at anyone who comes through the front door, I’m notified so I’m not caught off guard. I feel safer with this big floofer and more emotionally connected than I have before.
