Jennifer Ignacio, a physical therapist at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, speaks on the impacts of facility dogs at Walter Reed in the Military Advanced Training Center at Walter Reed in Bethesda, Maryland, June 28, 2023. Walter Reed's facility dogs initially undergo traditional service dog training with an accredited outside organization, and at Walter Reed they go through an additional training to become "facility dogs" to work in a clinical setting.
