“Our animal handling procedures are safe and humane…I am continuing my work rescuing and rehabilitating even the most difficult problem dogs, which has saved the lives of thousands of animals that otherwise would have been euthanized,” said Millan.
One of the great things about Millan’s show, “The Dog Whisperer” is that the dogs that he trains involve common problems that pet owners face everyday. People learn a lot from his shows and even use his techniques, which help save these dogs from being sent to the pound or even worse, euthanized.
It’s not an easy job and just like veterinarians and rescue workers, their overwhelming dedication to animals can sometimes cause compassion fatigue. Compassion fatigue is known as a secondary traumatic stress disorder (STSD), which is similar to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which can lead to depression and thoughts of suicide.
We are glad that the investigation is over and that Millan will continue to help save the lives of so many dogs.
