Medford, N.Y.: Instructors at the Northeast regional headquarters of Canine Companions for Independence in Medford, New York, train dogs to work with veterans who are struggling with PTSD. One of those dogs, Boise, a Labrador-Golden Retriever mix, is shown here resting his chin on the lap of instructor Leah Jacobson during a demonstration where she signaled that she was in a a state of anxiety by shaking her leg. Boise responded to the shaking by putting his chin on her lap in an effort to calm her. (John Paraksevas/Newsday RM via Getty Images)
