Stop What You’re Doing And Watch This Ad From The Royal Dutch Guide Dog Foundation

In addition to being a veteran, I'm also a dog person. So this ad from the Royal Dutch Guide Dog Foundation hit me right in the gut.

It shows a soldier in a war zone, living through a terrible situation of suffering and devastation. When a fellow soldier comes to comfort him, it is quickly revealed that he was in a nightmare and that was his service dog.

The other is the incredible ability of the film maker to deliver a powerful message in 30 seconds.

“Because we not only help people who cannot see, but also those who have seen too much.”
