Today's #goodnews story is about Northwest Battle Buddies started in Vancouver WA. They pair veterans with trained service dogs to prevent suicides.

The dogs have 5 months of training before getting paired with their veteran. Then it's 5 weeks of on-the-job training before graduation. 🥰

Fingers crossed that this law passes…🤞🏽 Having meaningful penalties for environmental harm would a great step in the right direction! Will be keeping an eye on how this plays out. 👀

It's no secret that housing is expensive and wages are too low. In today's #goodnews post we see that Santa Fe, NM is trying to do something about it by linking its minimum wage to housing prices. Sounds like a good start to me.
