We learned about program at a women’s prison that gives the
incarcerated ladies an opportunity to train dogs. The dogs are eventually used as assistance
animals for people with disabilities.
One of the ladies said the program rehabilitated her as well.
For me, the most moving story was that of veterans whose
dogs helped them with their struggles with post-traumatic stress syndrome
(PTSD). The dogs saved their lives.
If you have an opportunity to see the documentary, I highly
recommend it. It is available for sale
on Amazon.com. Check your local PBS
station; maybe they will air it sometime soon.
