In Wednesday’s post, I told you about a program the NC Department of Corrections’ has established for training shelter dogs. Another program, called Puppies Behind Bars, also works with inmates. In this program, inmates train service dogs and explosive detection dogs. Here is the link: http://www.puppiesbehindbars.com/
I first learned about the organization a few years ago. A dog from the program was given to a veteran who had severe post-traumatic stress disorder. The dog gave him back his life. It was truly inspiring.
If you go to the “In the News” section on their website, you can watch videos and read stories about the program. It is well worth perusing; the organization is doing great things.
