Making The Difference w/ Robert Macpherson

Robert Macpherson served in the U.S. Marines as an aid worker and career infantry officer – earning multiple awards of valor – with service in Vietnam, Iraq, and Somalia. Following that, he led humanitarian response missions worldwide for fifteen years at the humanitarian organization CARE. Returning back to everyday, regular life situations was not an easy transition. It took a while for Robert to realize he couldn't do this alone. And while he tried therapy and other methods of treatment, there was still something missing. That all changed once his service dog, Blue, came into his life. He helped Robert to go out in public again comfortably, temper his night terrors, and be in the right space to write his new book, Stewards of Humanity.
