In Nic Kuklinski’s documentary short, a service dog’s endless capacity for love is a model of the possibilities for greater connection. Watch here.
The director takes as his subject Lorilei Lebruska and also her service dog, Orbit, following them as they move in tandem through the world.
In the opening scenes of “Thank You for Your Service,” a short film directed by Nic Kuklinski, shots of Orbit snoozing with a plush lamb are juxtaposed with footage from the first Gulf War, in which Lebruska served as an Army linguist and translator during Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm. There’s George H. W. Bush, artillery fire, smoke—then yellow fur, the wheeze of a scrunched nose. At home, in California, Lebruska pages through photos from her time in Kuwait.
“Support animal” is a catchall term that encompasses service, guide, and emotional-support animals. The service dogs trained by Guide Dogs of America and Tender Loving Canines are usually prepared to respond to more than forty cues for different individual needs; they can assist visually impaired people, those on the autism spectrum, and veterans with P.T.S.D. or mobility limitations.
