Uplifted animals help us in many ways outside the military or guard duties.  One that surprised many people was their exceptional capability in the health care industry.  Dogs for instance can diagnose pregnancy and mineral deficiencies with a single sniff.  And many animals can help improve our healing processes just by lying down with us.  Of course, they’ve been doing that as long as we can remember.  It just got a lot easier once they could talk to us about it.
