New study from the University of Arizona shows service dogs help veterans with PTSD
TUCSON, Ariz. (13 News) – A new study at the University of Arizona is proving that veterans with service dogs have fewer PTSD symptoms and a higher quality of life.
While this has always been believed, there has been a lack of research on using service dogs in medical care.
According to the National Library of Medicine, more than 20% of veterans experience PTSD in their lifetime, and suicide and thoughts of suicide are also closely linked to PTSD.
A report from Veterans Affairs shows more than 17 U-S military veterans die by suicide daily. Now, University of Arizona researchers believe their findings could lead to life-changing improvements in healthcare for veterans.
This study involved 156 service members, half of whom were paired with a dog. Researchers then checked in every single day and said it was incredible to see the impact these dogs had on people.
Veterans came back and said their quality of life was better and that they had lower levels of depression and anxiety.
This idea has been in the works for about ten years and was recently published in the medical journal JAMA.
Rescue dogs and shelter dogs were used for this, and researchers say that no breed in particular did better or worse than others. However, it was also added that when dogs are bred to be service dogs, labs and retrievers are usually the most successful breeds.
”We often find that they are so excited to reach out the day they get the dog and just share pictures and stories with us about how the dog is already making an impact in their life,” the Associate Dean for Research in the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Arizona Maggie O’Haire said. “For the team and myself, I think the most meaningful part of this work is really getting to hear their stories, to work with them, to talk to them every day of the week and learn how their life is and share that story in a way that could help make a difference for them.”
Research on this hasn’t been done yet. Next, they want to do a similar study with more veterans and follow them for about a year to see how much more those dogs can help them.

WATCH: Officers crack down on drivers running red lights in Arizona
GLENDALE, AZ — A Glendale Police Department traffic enforcement operation is targeting red-light runners, putting a spotlight on the split-second decisions that can lead to life-altering crashes.
Arizona continues to be one of the worst states in the country for red-light running.
According to the Arizona Department of Transportation, nearly 6,000 drivers were involved in red light crashes at intersections, resulting in more than 60 deaths.
Officer Schlingman from the Glendale Police Department said the two most common excuses he hears from drivers cited for the violation are that they thought the light was still yellow, or that they were running late.
Watch in the player above as ABC15 gets a front-row seat inside the traffic enforcement operation as part of Operation Safe Roads.

PHOENIX — Happy Wednesday!
We’re staying on top of the latest happenings from across the Valley, state, and our nation for Wednesday, July 15; here’s what you need to know as you start your day:
The monsoon is not done with us yet. A few scattered storms could pop up in the Valley later today. Until then, partly cloudy, hot, and humid with a high of 108º. Better storm chances arrive tomorrow.
The mother of a 21-year-old woman who was found dead near Lake Pleasant over the weekend is speaking about her daughter’s death to ABC15.
Arianna Jones, 21, was last known to be at her apartment near 59th and Northern avenues. When her family went to check on her, they said they found damage to her front door, and she was not there. Her family has had no contact with her since July 5.
A friend told police that she had planned to meet “an acquaintance” for a movie. Evidence shows the man, identified by police as Domonic Rodolico, had picked Jones up from her apartment and never returned.
On Saturday, July 11, officials located “decomposing human remains in this area along with additional evidence,” including movie theater cups and clothes.
Glendale police confirmed Monday that Rodolico was taken into custody on charges including first-degree murder. Police say he is being held on a $2 million cash bond.

Arizona’s 1st Congressional District has become one of the most watched races in the country, with political experts calling it a toss-up ahead of the primary election.
CD1 is among a small number of truly competitive House races, said Kyle Kondik, managing editor of Sabato’s Crystal Ball at the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics.
“We only have 16 tossups in the House in our Crystal Ball House ratings. Two of them are Arizona One and Arizona Six, so they’re really, really important,” Kondik said.
CD1 is home to about 820,000 people. The district includes northeast Phoenix, Scottsdale, Fountain Hills, and Cave Creek. Because the race is so competitive, campaigns are spending heavily to reach voters.
“There are a lot of people who live in the Phoenix area who don’t live in Arizona One. But they’re going to be seeing those ads for Arizona One anyway,” Kondik said.

In a world where headlines often focus on what teenagers are doing wrong, one Valley band is giving people a reason to turn up the volume.
Anthem-based rock band The Deadline, made up of local teenagers, recently returned from a remarkable trip to Poland, where they performed for U.S. and NATO troops stationed near the Ukraine border.
The opportunity came after the young musicians caught the attention of Polish officials and continued building a reputation through Alice Cooper’s Proof Is in the Pudding competition.
What followed was a once-in-a-lifetime invitation to use their music to boost morale for troops serving far from home.
