Eric Hiatt & Dirks

Veteran Testimonials

Veteran: Eric Hiatt

Service Dog: Dirks

I met Dirks through Veterans Assistance Dogs of Texas in June of 2021. It would be hard to over represent the effect Dirks has had on my life. The week I met Dirks, I suffered a significant injury requiring surgery. A day after suffering the injury, my therapist of 5 years passed away. Dirks was what I needed when I needed it and VA dogs of TX bent over backwards to accommodate me during this time. Since then, Caleb has always been available whenever I have wanted a question answered. Dirks is now a familiar friend for many at the University of Texas at Austin while I am in my4th year of my PhD studies. Thank you Caleb, and everyone at VA Dogs of Texas
