The Learned Owl

April 10, 2010 @ 12:00 am

Jane Miller will bring her book, “Healing Companions: Ordinary Dogs and Their Extraordinary Power to Transform Lives,” to The Learned Owl Book Shop, 204 N. Main St., on April 10. Miller, a clinical psychotherapist and licensed independent social worker, will explain her work and experiences with psychiatric service dogs. A client of Miller’s will be on hand to answer questions, with her own on-duty psychiatric service dog. Miller will talk and sign books from 1 to 3 p.m.
Psychiatric service dogs are providing assistance to soldiers returning from combat with traumatic brain injuries or PTSD. Service dogs also help people suffering from many other ills, including anxiety, phobias, depression and eating disorders.

Miller has worked with the National Education for Assistance Dog Services and the Canines for Combat Veterans program. She has appeared on the PBS program Health Visions: Animals as Healers, and was on WKSU’s Around Noon on March 30. An interview with Miller will air on Hudson Cable TV’s Book Chat in coming weeks.
