I've been drinking craft beer longer than I care to admit. I was certainly drinking it before all the long beards and tight jean hipsters decided it was cool. One of the many things I enjoy most about beer and liquor in general is that there is always something new and interesting to try or sample for research of course. This makes life interesting and on some days worth living. This week, I decided to take a closer look at two of my favorite test subjects. Yup you guessed it whisky and beer. Although I must admit I do admire the ladies almost as much as I do my sudsy amber beverages so with that in mind this week I also indulge in a new and fascinating theory, wine in a can. 
American Humane, the country's first national humane organization, which has been working to support the U.S. military, veterans, and military animals for more than 100 years, applauds the introduction of H.R. 3335, the "Pups for Patriots Act of 2017," by Congressmen Gus Bilirakis (R-FL) and Henry Cuellar (D-TX). The bill directs the Department of Veterans Affairs to create a pilot program to provide more highly trained lifesaving service dogs to the nation's veterans struggling to cope with Post-Traumatic Stress (PTS) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), and establishes the requirement to adhere to national standards on the selection, training, and assessment of the service dogs.
