      Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times More specifics about the dogs' training, care and the costs involved would have been a plus. Otherwise, it's a stirring portrait of war, duty, sacrifice and the love of a good dog. Nov 8, 2019 Full Review Ken Jaworowski New York Times Though "To Be of Service" skips over specifics, the big picture is clear, and its overriding point well made: These dogs are saving the lives of those who've sacrificed so much. Oct 31, 2019 Full Review Lynnette Nicholas Common Sense Media Raw, honest documentary gets real about post-war trauma. Rated: 3/5 Nov 7, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

      georgan g Great documentary on animal assisted therapy for wounded veterans. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member As a veteran this was a difficult, but powerful film. It mostly consists of frank discussions of trauma, struggles to reintegrate, shame and depression. It rings true to my own experiences and I have personal familiarity with similar veteran service dog projects that are as successful as those featured. I hope it will help inform those who provide resources and those who would benefit. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
