He fought a long and difficult battle to get her home to the UK to be with him and since, the two have become inseparable. He tells Outlook's Saskia Edwards how Barrie is helping him overcome his PTSD. He has written a book about their relationship called 'Barrie: How a rescue dog and her owner saved each other.'
