Review for ECAD, Educated Canines Assisting with Disabilities, Torrington, CT, USA
ECAD trains superb assistance dogs for disabled individuals as they benefit and transform the children training the dogs. I have had the privilege to attend classes and graduations, as well as knowing some of the great people served by these wonderful dogs. ECAD is a kind of MatchMakers for the Gods...they just take all the healing potential to the highest place...every dog/human pair, whether in training or in life/placement, are taken to a new level of fuller and richer living.

I love the veterans in my film and I love their dogs...but ECAD is an organization that I knew before I even started my project about disabled female vets. And I still maintain that their training method, working with teens who have fallen through the safety net and children with learning issues is two healing systems in one.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
I would make sure they had millions and millions of dollars--not just to do their own good work, but to share their method of training with the world.
