MEET FIRST DOGS…BEHIND BARS?

Where Do I Start?

On the Oprah show yesterday, August 6, 2009, they had a show about “Amazing Animals” and in one of the segments, they talked about the program “Puppies Behind Bars“, where inmates help to train dogs to be “companion dogs” for veterans who come back from war in Afghanistan and Iraq with debilitating trauma.

Good Doggies!

First Dog watch was so moved as we know how “transformative” a dog’s love can be for their owners and are so happy that they are allowed to bring some joy to others who would not normally have the opportunity to experience it. One inmate even said that before “…(he) had no regards for other people. It was always me, me, me, me.”

Dogs Rule!
