Larry

Recently I got to visit with some of my subjects that I photographed last year. Mark is a Marine who has seizures on a daily basis. Larry, his service dog can detect the seizure up to two hours prior to them happening. I spent a lot of time with Mark and Larry and wanted to come back to take some portraits of Mark's important dog. Their story can be found on my website.

Marine Finds Support in Service Dog

Mark Gwathmey has fought in six world conflicts with the Marines. After his last mission in Iraq Mark was diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury. His TBI now causes him to have seizures, anxiety and a sympathetic nerve disorder. Mark received a veteran service dog, named Larry, who helps him through the struggles of every day life.
