Orvis Presents - Saved By Axe

There’s no doubt that dogs make us better humans, and a special chocolate Lab called Axe is a perfect example . Named for a fallen Navy Seal, Axe is a service dog trained to help a U.S. war veteran stay calm in the face of his PTSD symptoms. Chad and Axe are inseparable—when they travel, in business meetings, everywhere they go—and their connection is built on trust. But when Axe’s service dog vest comes off, the role of working dog goes with it, and the playfulness and joy of a beloved companion animal emerges. Axe does important, purposeful work—the kind that makes a crucial difference in Chad’s life—and he still gets to be a goofy, fun playmate. Audio Mix by Vinny Alfano
