At Project: Return To Work Inc. (R2W), our mission goes beyond job placement—it’s about restoring confidence, rebuilding lives, and reconnecting families. That mission is reflected in two very special team members: Yin and Yang, our beloved mascots. 

These loyal dogs do more than pose for photos. At every R2W event, they bring warmth, comfort, and connection. Whether they’re playing with kids, offering quiet support to a veteran, or simply making someone smile, Yin and Yang help turn our gatherings into safe, welcoming spaces. 

For many military families, their presence is the first step in feeling at home again. They help us reach veterans on a personal level—opening hearts and easing the journey back into civilian life. 

Recently, Yin (Bilbo) and Yang (Olive) attended a regional dog show where Yang took home Best in Show, and Yin earned Best of Opposite Sex. But their real achievement is the impact they make in people’s lives every day. 

They represent everything R2W stands for: trust, hope, and unwavering support. In a world where healing takes many forms, Yin and Yang remind us that sometimes the most powerful connection comes on four paws.
