Wounded Paw Project (WPP) is dispelling the belief that shelter dogs are not practical candidates as Service Dogs. This notion is based upon the idea that by breeding, one can control temperament, wellness, and longevity. Anthropological data does not support the idea that upbringing and race/color influences level of performance or - more importantly - constructive contributor to society. Shelter Dogs exemplify the military creed [dogma] of "Service before Self". Like Daisy to the right - A Rescue Dog trained to assist me while recovering from injuries sustained in Iraq.

WPP is governed by the PAW principle
