Chief Master Sgt. Nicole Johnson, wounded warrior, poses for a portrait with her service dog, Turley, during a running scrimmage for Northeast Warrior CARE Week on Joint Base Andrews, Md., Nov. 13, 2018. Johnson joined the program to help fight her battle with post-traumatic stress disorder from a military sexual trauma incident. She initially wanted a dog just as a companion she said, but feels like Turley picked her. “I needed something to feel a little safer at home,” Johnson said. “It turns out, she picked out the perfect human. She provides everything I need in safety, mobility and emotional support.” (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Michael S. Murphy)
