Gina 2-year-old German shepherd used as a bomb-sniffing dog with the military in Iraq returned to Colorado and was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. Gina while carrying  out a door to door search witnessed an explosion as a result she is no longer willing to participate in searches. “She was terrified of everybody and it was obviously a condition that led her down that road,” said Master Sgt Eric Haynes, kennel master. The diagnosis was made by a military veterinarian and it is not the first of its kind. The dog is currently undergoing therapy and will hopefully be able to return to her military life.
