Depends on what the dog does for the person with PTSD. Some people who suffer from PTSD suffer from debilitating anxiety attacks, and the dog can retrieve them medication, support them mobility-wise, etc. It's a gray area, for sure, but some service dogs for PTSD perform tasks that make that person's life livable.
